I wrote as part of a post:

When it comes to comic books, the screen size needs to be a minimum of 6 inches by 10 inches (its slightly smaller than a standard comic book but not by a significant amount).

Sorry for not being clear, the size I mentioned is roughly the size of modern U. S. comic books. The actual size is slightly larger (per Wikipedia its 6 5/8 inches by 10 1/4 inches/17cm X 26cm), but it shouldn't have much an effect on the overall height/width ratio when it comes to ebooks.

Although the height/width ratios between U. S. comic books (the height is 153 percent of the width) and European comics (the height is 132 percent of the width) are different, a screen should be able to accomodate both. What I hope is released is a screen large enough to display them without scrolling.
