Give me your recs for a device to read papers on. Should be easy to hold and not feel like staring at a screen. Annotation ability is a bonus, but not necessary.

I’ve been extremely surprised by the whole university presidents Congressional hearing debacle. First, I’m surprised by the number of people who think Rep. Stefanik was somehow acting in good faith or is some sort of friend of Jewish people. She wasn’t and she isn’t.
