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 can read books on it and it’s decent. but multitasking on a phone is terrible, i do basic googling around on a phone but i need a pc for any serious diving into anything. also anything that would need more than just typing out a few notes is slow and annoying on a phone.

    it is possible once you get used to it depending on how you learn, if that’s what you have. i suggest you try around a lot of different apps for the things you will need. finding a good workflow helps more than people realize.
