If u say yes, i will order the Kindle 3 immediately, tired of reading manga on my monitor.  |
My first ereader was a sony prs-505. It also has a 6" screen and I got it solely for manga scans. Although the screens on these ereaders are so awesome that you can read even tiny text, it was too straining and annoying to read such tiny manga. I returned the prs-505 after 2 days and ordered a Kindle DX.
That's just my opinion, hopefully others reading manga on their ereader will chime in. I've heard some people specify the settings in Canti so that you hold the ereader in landscape orientation and the scans fill the screen's full landscape width (so rotate portrait scans to landscape, set the width to 800px, then scroll up/down on the ereader to view the entire height of the page). That probably makes the manga a lot more readable on a 6" screen, but it sounds annoying to have to vertically scroll through each page (especially if a panel of the scan uses the full height of the page).
So my advice is if you read a lot of digital manga, save up money for a larger screen. Maybe look into a used/refurbished DX, they seem to be available at a reasonable price. My favorite manga reader is the iPad, but that's still very expensive.
