It's too bad the ~10.5" e-ink display doesn't come in a higher resolution version. They all seem to be the same 1872×1404 227 PPI panel. In comparison an iPad is around 267 PPI and you can get 8" eink ones at 300ppi. My 6.8" kindle at 300ppi seems not quite big enough for comics yet.
- GekkePrutser 5y agoTrue but eink pixels are not delineated by a grid and aren't exactly square so the effect presents itself as a kind of natural anti aliasing. I haven't seen this display but I think it will look similar to the iPad in question. Also you'll probably view it at a bit higher distance than a 6" Kindle meant for reading only. Because this one is meant to write on.
- smusamashah 5y agoWhy do I see squares when I draw a 45 degree line on Remarkable 2 if the pixels are not exactly square on an eink?
- dsr_ 5y agoIMHO, comics can't be reasonably read at a screen size less than 25cm (10") or so. The pages are laid out for about that size, the letters are scaled for that... Leaning in closer doesn't improve the experience much. The Amazon Kindle Fire HD10 is cheap (less than $100 on sale, which happens every few months), has a 10.1" color LCD screen, and enough CPU and RAM to make it painless for reading comics. I recommend it for that purpose alone... and not really for anything else.
- novok 5y agoMany manga are made for the smaller tankobon format, but reading it on a printed page is nicer than an e-ink I've found. Also there are many options for LCD readers, it's more about how there is only one option for the eink type.
