my favorite productivity tech!

[@mhacker84]

Thank you. I wonder why you use several ereaders?

[@jvscholz]

one is for reading pdfs and marking them up- it stays on my desk. the other stays on my bed and is great for reading since it's compact and has page turn buttons. the third is used to take notes during lecture. the fourth is my mobile entertainment device since i don't usually carry a smartphone around

[@santicanog_]

@jvscholz HI 👋 could you recommend e-readers to marking up notes easily?

[@urnotjl]

@@jvscholz Not uni students anymore, wonder just reading some epub files and mainly text, do you have any model suggestion ? From a kindle voyage user 😢

[@josephmslyall]

@@jvscholz doesnt having a mobile entertainment device slightly defeat the purpose of not carrying a smartphone? that was like one one of the main reasons i started using dumbphones

[@Atokinox]

@@josephmslyall i dont think reading would enter this category, u can take a book with you and it wont have the same effect on you has a smartphone imo

You gotta make a video on ereaders. Kind of like your best minimal phone video. Would like to know the different types of ereaders you have, what you would recommend, what kind of apps / tools you have installed since you do have Android readers and such. I am wondering if you are able to upload apks to your ereader. Would like to get Tachiyomi on one.

im a fan of boox devices since they run android. there isn't a best device at the moment since it largely depends on your use use case-i'd recommend checking out channels like brandon boswell, my deep guide, and chalid raqami. i also frequent the /r/eink and /r/ereader subreddit. the ewritable website is also a valuable resource.

any recommendations on the e-readers? i see u have no videos on it, and all i have is a kindle rn so im curious to know why exactly you prefer foreign e-readers.

[@TheFailMistress]

i think he meant that he’s not restricted to buying kindle books. i think with kindles you can’t download pdfs or books from other stores

[@jvscholz]

i'm planning on making a video about it soon. im a fan of boox devices since they run android. there isn't a best device at the moment since it largely depends on your use use case-i'd recommend checking out channels like brandon boswell, my deep guide, and chalid raqami. i also frequent the /r/eink and /r/ereader subreddit. the ewritable website is also a valuable resource. i don't like kindles because they haven't innovated over the past 10 years, and are (mostly) constrained to reading books from amazon. android ereaders allow you to read books from many sources, including kindle, but also rakuten, libby, etc. you can also read manga on them easily through tachiyomi. i'd also advise you look into the drama between audible and brandon sanderson

[@oku-mq7kg]

On the topic of keyboards and typing, have you ever considered learning to use a column-staggered keyboard? And one with a small form factor that has no more than 1dfh ( distance from home row)? It has really improved my productivity, and made my workflow even more comfortable to use by solving any wrist pain I had. I'm not sure if you're using QWERTY or not, but it would probably be a good idea to learn an alternate keyboard layout that's used exclusively on this board. Else you may find it much harder to maintain the QWERTY muscle memory on a standard row-stagger.

[@qwoolrat]

its inconvenient for vim-emacs-tiling and i think he uses that

[@oku-mq7kg]

@@qwoolrat A smaller form factor, or a non-QWERTY layout? I'm not sure about 'vim-emacs-tiling', is it a plugin for Vim that uses Emacs style keybinds, or is it an Emacs plugin that uses Vim style keybinds? I've never used Emacs, and haven't done any research on it, but a Google search didn't yield any promising results.
