Agreed. However, I really like using an e-ink e-reader for books, it's way more portable and just as (if not more) readable.
I don't read many comics, but perhaps the new color e-ink ereaders are a decent option? I know Kobo just released some (e.g. Libra Colour), and there are a few other options as well. It doesn't have as good of saturation as a comic book and likely never will, but it's way more portable. So maybe consider one of those for travel.
Honestly, I couldn't handle that. The screen is just too crappy. I do have a Steam Deck which can emulate pretty much anything (including Switch apparently), so that's the route I'm planning to take when nostagia hits. I have an old GBA, but I honestly don't like using it any more.
Maybe for books, but for comics I could never switch. Like with the GBC for me the physicality is part of it, I don't even like collected editions as much I prefer single issue floppies.
If I ever got a modern gaming device hands down it would be steam deck (well I guess sometimes I do play OpenMW on my laptop, but that doesn't count.) Love me GBC, love me worm light, don't need anything else for now lol.
