How do any of you read your comics? I'm looking for something like a tablet/e-reader that would support either web browsing or adding files without using a proprietary store and color screen. Bonus points if the screen is huge and I can compromise having one that is old, a little slow/low refresh rate and low res.

Currently using a MS Surface which is great but really heavy and slightly clunky. It's also shared so I have to give it back occasionally.

First time poster, happy to see so many people on Lemmy.

Edit: formatting. Sorry, removed duplicate posts

Hi, this is my first time too, posting anything on Lemmy.

I just made an account last night since Apollo app is going offline. RIP Apollo.

Sooo, this probably isn’t going to answer your question since you’re looking for a colored screen to read comics …..buuuut, if you or anyone else was interested in getting a device to read manga….then I do have a pretty good suggestion. I currently use the Boox Nova Air for reading manga.

Boox Nova Air is e-reader android tablet, so it’s sorta like a kindle but way more powerful than that. It has 7.8" HD E-ink Carta Screen, so it’s not too big, not to small. This device is only in black and white, no color… so perfect for manga. And because it’s an android tablet, I can pretty much download whatever from the google play store app or side load any apks. It came with a stylus so I can write notes on here too or draw.

I currently use the Tachiyomi app to read manga and I love it. I’ve definitely been reading a lot more manga since I purchased this device, last year. I also use pocket and the Firefox browser to catch up on news articles on the web.

There is a new Boox Tab Mini C, which is a ereader android tablet that does support color. So maybe this one could suit your needs for reading comics, if you wanted an ereader experience. It’s also a 7.8in display and comes with a stylus.

I hope this helps your search and anyone else who happens to read this comment.

Happy reading!
