![]() It doesn’t actually highlight a chunk of text, just a square. QPDF Notes: The highlighting annotation is stupid. Fast rendering and good note taking, but forces you to use its own shitty cloud mechanism to save annotations.ĭocuments to Go: Can’t try it out without paying 15$. Mantano Reader: What a missed opportunity. Supports annotations, tabs, rendering is fast, etc. IAnnotate PDF: Promising as of version 1.1.3. Annotation interface is annoying you need three clicks to highlight a passage.ĮzPDF: Rendering is way slower than all the other PDF readers, which makes navigation painful. Annoyances: resets zoom when you change pages only shows page previews when you push down on the scrollbar. ![]() I’ve tried a bunch of different ones though:Īdobe Reader: Pretty decent choice. My favorite thus far is the RepliGO reader. You’ll want a PDF reader app that allows you to make annotations. The Kindle app works like a charm in fact I think I prefer the feeling on a tablet than on an actual Kindle because highlighting and flipping pages is faster and more natural. So how is the tablet? It’s pretty swell! It’s bright enough that you can read in the sunshine. Android is more flexible and less annoying than iOS (it gives you access to a real filesystem, for instance). Furthermore, the iPad doesn’t come with an expansion slot for additional storage, while the Android tablet has a MicroSD slot. Now I’m no Apple fanboy so there’s no way I was going to buy an iPad instead, but for the sake of argument… The equivalent iPad, with similar specs (16GB, almost identical size) is 500$, so almost 50% more pricey. Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 (10.1) (Photo credit: ) ![]() I figured I would evaluate it, try and use it for reading papers, and keep it if I was satisfied. I recently bought an Android tablet, specifically the Samsung Galaxy tab 10.1 2. Sometimes I have serveral versions of a file and it can be hard to figure out which one is which in the crowded/confusing assets directory.* Update: Zotero Reader Web allows you to read papers on your Android tablet via your Zotero library. ![]() But even with these flaws I think that this is the best thing going for reading and annotating a ton of papers.Īnd, in response to the above discussion about access to the files in /assets… why can’t I right click on an asset reference and reveal the file in the finder/explorer? Feels like that would be a good feature to have. You either want to be able to annotate with the references silently going to the annotation list in the background with the pdf view being full screen or you want logseq to detect that it is in portrait mode and made the views one above the other instead of side by side.Ĭurrently these things can kinda sorta be worked around but it is pretty janky and you need to use a mouse a lot with your tablet which isn’t ideal. When using a portrait oriented screen like on the Surface in tablet mode it doesn’t make sense to have the annotaion/edn file side by side with the PDF.MS touch cannot properly highlight text so that it can be annotated – this must be done with a mouse.MS touch and stylus can’t properly resize the pdf viewer pane – this must be done with a mouse.A surface + logseq seems like it could be the perfect combo for an academic workflow. ![]()
