I still have an old Kindle and it still gets months of battery life. I occasionally read comics so this may get me to upgrade.

    I want to read comics but I also don’t want to miss out on that feeling when you turn a page and are greeted with awesome two page spreads.

    Unfortunately no tablet or e-reader can have this functionality.

      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

        Of course. However comics have square-ish aspect ratio when it is two pages side by side and rectangular when it is one page.

        No screen can accommodate this change properly, yet. Maybe folding or roll-out displays will manage this someday.

        Like imagine reading this along

        All these interactions arranged in a grid squares

        And then you turn over the page to be greeted by this grotesque monstrosity

        (The comic is The Immortal Hulk by Al Ewing)

      My Kobo Libra Color does it. I do sometimes need a bit of time to format manga properly but it’s perfectly doable.
