I'm new on this forum and have been interested in buying an e-reader the last few days. I did a lot of research but still got some questions:

- I think the biggest advantage of the ipad is, that it can support all types of e-books. F.e. using the amazon-app, you can buy e-books from amazon. Using a kindl, you can't buy e-books from apple... There are so many different kind of book-formats that I really want to make sure that my future e-reader can handle the type of e-books I would like to read...

- I would also like to read comics and manga's. But from the previews that I have seen, they are all black and white. Doesn't that make it useless to buy an e-reader with a color screen?

- Is it also possible to buy magazines or newspapers on other devices? Then I'm thinking of websites like Zinio

- If I read comics/books, I would like to have a full page view, without the need of scrolling and zooming. My brother in law has got a 6 inch e-reader, and it's not possible to watch a full page comic, because it becomes too small. Some other books are too small to read, so eventually I have to zoom in at each book. That's something I really hate. I need a readable full page view.

Thanks for reading and answering my questions!
I love my iPad. I even wrote this reply on it
