I’m super torn between not wanting more Amazon in my life and wanting a convenient way to binge a lot of comics and manga
I quite like my Kobo Libra Colour
Thanks for the recommendation, I’ll look into it 🤔
As another owner of the Kobo Libra Colour, I can recommend it for its excellent ergonomics and UI. Plus as a bonus, it has pen support!
Youre looking for an Onyx Boox tablet - a little pricey, but worth it for the un-enshitified tablet.
On my iPad, I use an app called Manga Plus and in landscape I get the two page spreads. I suppose any app that's supports two-page landscape view would work. But that wouldn't work well for smaller tablets
My Kobo Libra Color does it. I do sometimes need a bit of time to format manga properly but it's perfectly doable.
A tablet for $100 would do...
Normal tablets don’t have e-Ink screens and for reading electrophoretic displays are vastly superior to LED/LCD screens.
Not the current color ones, even though they're expensive.
They still have much longer battery life and they’re still like reading on paper. Just not in a very high "print" quality when in colour.
Depends on the OS tho. Android sucks for this.
For e-readers? It’s fine, if it’s modified heavily enough. The tolino e-reader line (before they just became kobos) used a heavily modified version of Android and they were great devices.
