Comment on Ask HN: Do you print software documentation? If so how do you do it?

Comments

In the past I've occasionally had PDF docs printed at copy shops (spiral bound usually) - but that can work out surprisingly expensive.

You should try out a Remarkable and see if that works for you (it didn't for me but it was close). They don't have a lot of distractions and they're pretty good at displaying PDFs.

Currently I buy books and put up with them being a little behind the bleeding edge. Good ones are hard to find though.

I have a large e-ink tablet, not the reMarkable itself but similar. It is a step in the right direction for me but not quite what I'm looking for. Thanks for the suggestion though!

If I print documentation I'm going to do it with my home printer and use a 3-ring binder so I think the cost should be do-able. I haven't specced it out exactly but paper is cheap and toner is... cheaper than paying someone else :shrug:
