Using tablet to read comic is a bit a pain. Due to some books, they have splash page that need to rotate the device to view. Due to the aspect ratio, some devices will have some issue in landscape mode viewing the comic.
As some books, in landscape mode, the perfect aspect ratio would be 4:3 or 2:3 which is the iPad line and Surface line. Android device tend to have 16:10 which shrink the page smaller. This make reading the lettering hard especially those comic which tend to have comic sans in small font size or pages that have full page dialogue bubble.
In portrait mode, any devices is nice to view. But for manga, in portrait mode, the page will felt a bit over blown due to the art style. Advice would be view in landscape mode.
Comic app used to view these books also tend to be a problem. Some comics have first page cover and in landscape mode, it will disrupt the sequence when encounter splash page that is split into individual page. Changing viewing mode from time to time is a bit frustrating as it spoil the mood to read the books. This same applied to viewing PDF.
The bigger the screen size the better but the weight also increase. It might be a bit tired holding devices in long hours.
