Amazon announces first Kindle ever with color screen, retailing for $279
The company is refreshing its entire e-reader lineup, launching four new Kindle devices.
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’m super torn between not wanting more Amazon in my life and wanting a convenient way to binge a lot of comics and manga
-
I quite like my Kobo Libra Colour
-
Thanks for the recommendation, I’ll look into it 🤔
-
As another owner of the Kobo Libra Colour, I can recommend it for its excellent ergonomics and UI. Plus as a bonus, it has pen support!

Youre looking for an Onyx Boox tablet - a little pricey, but worth it for the un-enshitified tablet.

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

A tablet for $100 would do...
-
Normal tablets don’t have e-Ink screens and for reading electrophoretic displays are vastly superior to LED/LCD screens.
-
Not the current color ones, even though they're expensive.
-
They still have much longer battery life and they’re still like reading on paper. Just not in a very high "print" quality when in colour.
-
Depends on the OS tho. Android sucks for this.
-
For e-readers? It’s fine, if it’s modified heavily enough. The tolino e-reader line (before they just became kobos) used a heavily modified version of Android and they were great devices.
