If you are going to be reading many classics or older books, I’d recommend a kindle. It is much cheaper than an Ipad and there are fewer distractions on it, which promotes studying vs. surfing. It is black and white, but that means the battery charge lasts for weeks. It wouldn’t work for intensely illustrated books, such as anatomy. It is very convenient to read on buses and other public transit. The older books can be downloaded for free on it. Other books are usually cheaper than Amazon’s regular discount price. It also is a very cheap way to read full text of major newspapers.
