I am a researcher. That means I have to read academic papers and books. Unfortunately, I don’t really have room for them, and even when I print out academic articles, I tend to lose them along with my notes. To be honest, I am not the best at self-organization. So…

Expensive, imperfect, but maybe a good e-ink tablet for you... — It is different! I have gone through so many e-readers that I am almost ashamed: Kindle DX, reMarkable 1, Kobo Elipsa, Onyx Boox Note Plus, Onyx Boox Nova 2, Onyx Boox Max Lumi, to name but a few. So many! …

I have been using Roam since February 2020. It has changed completely, how I take notes, collect information, and even the way I write.
