I read programming ebooks on my computer while typing out the programs into Vim. As I learned from Zed in his C book that you must type out the code examples if you’re going to learn from them, which I’ve found extremely useful.

Otherwise for long form reading sections I switch back to my Kindle, tablet, or paper book.

The other times I read on my computer are shorter academic papers, reference, and sampling the first chapter of books before switching them to my Kindle or tablet.
