Any suggestions on either a cheap tablet to only read comics on, or suggestions of a community to ask for recs? - eviltoast

    Not a suggestion, but I have tried reading comics on a 10 inch tablet and I hated it. I think it may have to do with the pixel density. I ended up picking up a yoga tab 13 (13") and I love it. I read the entire Saga series on it.

        I owned an older model at one point. They’re notable for having a large sort of cylindrical area on one side that acts as a grip. While I personally wouldn’t use it for reading comics (but that’s because I’d rather have a larger screen; see my other comment talking about screen sizes), they have an integrated stand that hooks up to that cylinder, so you can prop it upright, which may be more-comfortable if you intend to use it in the landscape orientation with a table in front of you for long periods of time; it provides control over the screen angle, like a laptop. Most tablets and tablet-cases-with-integrated-stands can’t do that.

        I got mine mostly because I wanted a tablet with a long battery life; the cylinder provides space for a (comparatively) large battery. It also has pretty decent speakers as tablets go, though I don’t imagine that that’d matter much if you’re looking to just read comics.
