What is the Best Ebook Reader for Reading Journal Articles?

AI Thread Summary
When considering an eBook reader for reading journal articles with specific formatting, the key requirement is the ability to render PDFs accurately without altering their layout.

Thread 'ChatGPT Examples, Good and Bad'

I've been experimenting with ChatGPT. Some results are good, some very very bad. I think examples can help expose the properties of this AI.
