   The best research tool

   Qiqqa is by far the strongest solution for research and managing pdf's. Zotero, named as a comparison is weak as it does not allow pdf;s to be loaded into its interface - you need to use a pdf reader, which defeats its whole purpose. With Qiqqa documents in a library can be searched together. It has excellent maps of your libraries. It is not prefect, having a few glitches, but still is the only one of its kind.

   👍 Pros:    Excellent ocr and search|Multiple libraries|Search within a library|Still supported

   👎 Cons:    Can be a bit glitchy|Can slow down of stop responding|Appears to need a lot of memory|Support can be a bit slow / technical

• How to Read Books When You Have ADHD

  “Some books are to be tasted, others to be swallowed, and some few to be chewed and digested; that is, some books are to be read only in parts; others to be read, but not curiously; and some few are to be read wholly, and with diligence and attention.” -- Francis Bacon Mortimer Adler's How to Read a Book provides a decent framework for dealing with the variety of books out there. There are also tools like Polar[1]... - Source: Hacker News / about 3 years ago
