[Question] Would you recommend an e-reader?

[ultraChalk]

would you? I'm thinking about getting no one MAINLY so that it'll be easier to manage my manga and comics on. And how does navigation work? Cus if you need to pull up some information it'll be a hassle to flip through each individual page of a volume, is there like a multi page view to navigate faster from? Last question, how does buying manga and comics work on e readers? Is it just a sign in, tap and buy? What store does each use so I can just see what they have on it right now?

Thanks.

I would simply get a tablet based on my budget. Tablets are better suited to serve different needs. You can download to them several e-reading applications without any hassle and have the same an e-reader will offer you.

It also depends if you read for long hours. I would go for a Tablet nonetheless.

I definitely recommend it, but get one that runs at least somewhat on Android like a Amazon e-reader or one of the NOOK Samsung offerings (which is what I use). I only say this because you say you want to read manga on your e-readers, and it's easier to read non-DRM mangas on an e-reader that's more like a tablet, because you can download third-party apps like Comicat.

It's also nice to be able to do things like listen to music while reading on the same device. Tablets also tend to have expandable memory so that you can transfer comics easily or switch them in and out.

I personally use a Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 NOOK 8.0 and I love it. I use it for gaming, reading, schoolwork, viewing/listening to media, and for social media.

Your e-reader is a beast. It is basically a tablet..

It all comes down to personal preference. Great choice 'tho!

They have a $150 one that's more suitable for just being a dedicated e-reader though, even though it's still a tablet. xD But at that point you might also be better off just going with the Amazon offerings as well, since they tend to have a better ecosystem.

Just buy a tablet and install manga rock on it. It is awesome. It even has offline download. Tho you need to buy slots. I have it on my phone it works great.

And it has scroll down or flip navigation too. You don't need to buy manga it is free there. Though VIZ manga app sells mangas. I never bought one so yeah I don't know about how to pay.

I love readers and I have the Kindle Voyage. Make sure with this one that you don´t have an uneven lightning on the screen, though. It´s my most precious piece of possesion, but I am an avid reader of basically anything.

If you want to read mangas, listen to some music, then a tablet would be better for you, I presume.
