I’m old fashioned and learn the old way: you print what you need to study, get a pen and a highlighter, have a seat next to a table and get to it.

My current position offers me ample downtime but I’m not allowed to carry a portfolio with my study materials around and I don’t like folding my A size papers (ANSI standard) because I end up ruining them that way.

A smartphone’s screen is not very big and highlighting text with it is a nightmare. This is medicine I’m studying, meaning lots of graphics to locate veins, nerves…

I don’t find it practical but maybe you do? If so, any tips?

I could create an epub or pdf file from the materials and use LibreraFD to access them. I don’t know.

    I’m not in school anymore, but I read on my phone all the time (mostly articles and forums, but I’ve read at least a few ebooks on a phone or tablet too).

    I prefer a laptop but I don’t always have one on me. Physical books are good too, but again they’re not always on me.
