e-reader or tablet for reading academic paper (reddthat.com)

I'm reading a lot papers after I switched positions in my job. I felt reading on my display annoying. I can't draw on the PDF easily nor able to read while I code (not without switching windows). And printing papers is annoying too. I can't search and the physical paper pile up quickly.

Is an e-reader a good choice for me? Or should I get a tablet instead?

I didn't even know about that thing.

It looks pretty great on paper.

I've had it for about a year now and it's just plain awesome. I use it every day.

I currently live the remarkable 2 and also had the first one. Wouldn't want to live without it, but the software is still not really there...
There are some patched versions on GitHub with more functionality, but never tried it.

Company itself argues, they want to be as near to paper as possible. so not many features, which is a fair design choice, but the software still feels sluggish and unoptimized imho
