You can use the following:

Android Comic Viewer: Very nice for .cbr and .cbz files with lots of viewing options

Adobe Reader, Beamreader, or Documents to Go: Very nice for PDF comic files. Can zoom and pan with the touchscreen, reflow text.

Barnes and Noble, Kindle, Borders/Kobo, Aldiko, FBReader, Wordplayer, etc.: Great programs for reading ebooks, PDF's (reflow), or comics that have been converted to epubs or other formats.

The Pandigital Novel has pretty good battery life (about six hours), color, fast page turns, and serves as a decent tablet (web, email, casual games, etc.)

With the $20 rebate from Bed, Bath, and Beyond and a coupon found online (just sign up on their site to receive emails), after taxes, mine came to $124.
I'm not really against an LCD screen but I think LCD screens give you glare? I've just read up one it a bit and it seems that the firmware is a bit clunky still as well. Is there anyway you can provide pictures with it viewing manga? Thanks!
