Some people just read a book and move pieces on the board or just use their smart phone. So why not show what setup works best for improving your game?

I use the computer and the board, but I am willing to but an iPad for this purpose too

I do all of my studying on my computer. I have two monitors flanking my laptop. I typically play out all the moves in any book I read in Chessbase and try to analyze all of the variations in my head. When I encounter something I don't understand and can't riddle it out on my own, I turn on Stockfish.
Oh my goodness, @stumOnner, all those BCE. droool
Stum is on a ‘whole nother level’

My study setup is the following:
DGT wooden board connected to an Android device where Acid Ape Chess is running.
Paper book next to it.

My learning/studying setup can be just about anything I´m using in the moment except my smartphone. I grew up in an age when most newspapers actually were papers and had a weekly (at least) chess column that i studied with or without a board. I remember well following the match in Reykjavik between Spassky and Fischer via the reports in Svenska Dagbladet. When it began we were still at the familys summer cottage where I had an old (from the 19th century) chesset and often played through the latest game at night since the evenings were spent fishing.
Now I often use my laptop but beeing an old fart I often as not use a book (a real or a pdf one) and a chess set. I have no dedicated "chess den" or "cave". I find some youtube videos helpful but watching rapid and blitz games just makes me dizzy. Also when watching games in classical time control there´s a bit to much analyzing and commenting for my taste. Recently I followed some of Anna Cramlings games in Rilton Cup but had to mute Pia. AC/PC are allright but can induce a headache...

To improve your game, focus on practicing with a physical board or a chess app that lets you analyze your moves. Set up positions and review your games with tools like chess engines to identify mistakes and improve strategy. Consistency in practice and analysis is key.
