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

Get a firetab 10 and a 500gb sd card. Prime day is next week, it'll be on sale. It's a less than $100 option and works great. It's roughly the size of a comic book, and works great for just reading comics.

I use comicrack to organize the comics, and there's a few workflows out there that people have made to organize and sort the comics. I can sync it all wirelessly from my pc to my tablet, pretty easy process.

If you do go with the furetab, Id recommend looking into the fire toolbox on xda that helps with some functionality
