It kind of depends. I use kindle mostly, but in some cases I might want the printed version (the old school way)

I prefer the old school way but if I am in hurry and want to read something right away I don’t mind using my kindle.

Although I’ve tried to study from various sources, nothing can be compared to the good old books. Since I am a fan of highlighting and taking notes, I cannot seem to do so effectively in any program/ platform so far.
Definitely agree on the note-taking abilities of old-school paper.

I’m old-enough that reading from an electronic device is still only something I do at work or in case of necessity. I much prefer my books on Dead Tree.
I don’t mind videos, webinars, etc. delivered online…that makes more sense to me than clicking through a PowerPoint presentation. But I like anything I read to be offline.

I’ve been reading the CFAI material on my slim laptop, which I guess would be closest to any one of the tablet options but far from the “old school” option. While I have always been an “old schooler” up to now, due to the sheer weight of the CFAI books (and me growing tired of carrying weight around), I started reading from the ebook version and got hooked. It works great: wherever you are, you can have ALL your books in a small fraction of the weight, with all your highlights, personal notes, etc. No need for pens, rulers, etc. (I only take a calculator to make sure I’m using one of the exam approved ones.)

I voted for old school, but I do read a lot of novels on my e-ink Kindle. For L1 and L2 I used the e-books and that was a bit tough for me, so for L3 I’ve got the print books. Studying is better with print books, I think. For recreational reading it doesn’t matter what device I use.
