Actually, the best to date is the Panasonic Words Gear. The main problem with US comics compared to manga, etc., is a lot of color is used and most of them dark. I've tried many conversion utilities to get the best result on the Sony Reader, but nothing came through as very good for that device. That is the main reason I looked into the Words Gear device.
This device's screen is almost the same size as the Reader's, but it a little narrower. The major difference between this and others is the use of a higher resolution color LCD display. While you still have to view American comics in landscape mode, Japanese manga can be viewed in portait without any difficulty. The result of viewing comics (or any eContent in color) is miles ahead of the competition that is still based in shades of gray.
While I'm not much for having to view and book in landscape mode, it looks pretty darn nice. The only option better would be a TabletPC.
BTW I just finished one of the comics I picked up off of WOWIO last night, no conversion needed aside from the steps the Words Gear takes to copy it over.
