You just can't take that 2nd screen to the staff room and have a coffee while you read. I find, true research comes in a binder/book of knowledge and a cup of coffee, with your feet up on a comfy lazy boy. I should send you a photo of the binders I have built up over the years with QBasic and QB64 stuff. But hey, maybe Pete's onto something there - a digital screen on a coffee mug with all you need to know displaying.Perhaps get a used or refurbished iPad on eBay? My wife has a 4th gen iPad that she bought new that is still going strong after all these years (heck, it's got to be close to 10 years now). She uses that thing every single day for reading.
On the other hand, Apple is planning home robots, maybe a robot screen that follows you around.
I agree, printed material is the best and I too have amassed a large collection of books and bound printed reference material over the years.
As far as robots go, nope, nope, nope. They'll just be used as snooping tools by manufacturers to sell your data to the marketing scum.
