eBook Reader or Tablet?

Go to solution Solved by ProjectBox153,

This is an old post now but yes, an eBook reader will cause less eye strain. I have a Kindle and I would use it every day over a regular tablet.

Hey guys,

I would like to know from you what do you rather recommend for studying.

Right now I do have a tablet but it's getting old and I thought about buying an eBook Reader for reading .pdf files for my work.

I have read somewhere that eBook Reader are less bad to harm the consumers eyes while reading - is it true?

 

Can you guys tell me your opinion on this?

I would appreciate it if you could even recommend me some tablets or eBook Readers you personally use.

Thank you.

Is it possible to put every .pdf file on a kindle eBook Reader?

I've never tried putting anything more than a purchased book on it from the Kindle store. I don't know much about the device, seeing as I haven't used it much. I got it for $10 US at a local yard sale. Try Google and see if anyone on another website says how to put a PDF on the Kindle.
