On the DXG there are problems with some comics (not specifically manga but same boat)

The main issue comes from comics that have color/glossys or ones that use small/stylistic text. Also some that use two page spreads.

I'd point to the whole marvel noir series. The text is really small, the environments are rather dark, and the kindle does a pretty poor job grayscaling the dark color images. Makes for a pretty poor reading experience.
Yeah, i tried some Daredevil Noir and it doesn't look very good.

But my point regarding manga still stands - most of the manga is very different from that Marvel Noir stuff (not to mention it's B&W) and it is perfect on DX(G).

As for small Kindles - sure, i was never able to read manga on my Sony prs505 cause of screen size and 800x600 res.
