I'm a small business programmer. I love solving tough problems with Python and PHP. If you like what you're seeing, you should probably follow me here on dev.to and then checkout my blog.
I've had both an e-reader and an iPad and I much prefer the iPad. It can do so much more. And it just works (unlike the Android tablet I also had).
I read a lot on the web and feedly and pocket make that experience extremely smooth (and ad free). In fact, I'm replying to this post on my iPad.
The downsides you mentioned don't bother me. If you said you just wanted to read books and money was an issue, I'd recommend an e-reader. Otherwise, you won't regret an iPad.
"It can do so much more" is both good and bad for my use case, LOL. I already have two devices for emailing, browsing, messaging, calendars, entertainment (etc) and I don't need a third one — I'd like my brain to associate this device with learning exclusively. But I guess I could look into some SelfControl equivalent for iOS.
Thanks for replying!
