Greetings,
So I recall Kevin asking about it but here are some articles on Chrome DevTools
testing tools. It's been
there for a few years so really there is no excuse for not running your code
through it or the audit
feature. Not sure about Firefox's internal testing suite off hand:
I have a reMarkable https://remarkable.com/ which is great for PDFs, writing
notes, etc. and it will also read.
It’s quite nice. I generally use it instead of paper for notes. You can even
transfer web pages to it (from a Chrome plug-in) to read them in more comfort.

At least some of the Sony ereaders had keyboards. They really weren't
that

Much as I hate onscreen keyboards, I will

2. Depending on what your reading the ebook can be more expensive and
even then it's not much of a
savings unless the book is already in the public domain like Dickens

on what but normally it is cheaper

- when you choose an ereader, you are choosing a bookstore. They are
tied. You can side-load non-DRMed books (that's what I do).
With tablets, you can install apps for the various book stores, so you
can have several "e-readers"
As Evan stated about ePubs I'm not sure if that's changed. As from my
experience I was thinking about it
a few years ago, however I decided not to due to my reading habits. The only
pro was it's lighter than
books and the eink is pretty close or identical to a book. However three things

I once had a Sony e-reader, it was great for purpose. As has been
suggested, it's best for the ePub format, less good with PDFs.
For whatever reasons, the landscape for eReaders has consolidated into two
brands -- Kobo and Kindle.
The situation may have changed since I last checked it out, but
Has anyone ever used an e-reader with something like, say, Safari Online?

The only advantages of an e-reader, such as the Kobo, are battery life
