Introducing BrowZine — One App. NUS-Subscribed E-Journals. Everywhere You Go

What device do you prefer using when reading e-journal articles? A desktop or laptop for the comfort of a bigger screen but with the issue of bulk, or your mobile device for convenience, but with the hassle of zooming in and out for reading comfort?
