I tried reading manga on the internet but it just doesn't feel right as I'm used to reading manga on real books but they take up so much space so I'm thinking of downloading them to an e-reader. Alot of people say that for reading manga an e-reader shouldn't be smaller than 9.7" is this true? How about 8" readers, are they too small? Also the manga I'm going to be reading is things like Detective Conan and OnePiece. I don't want to be spending more than $300 for an e-reader but if 9.7" is worth it then I'm willing to spend up to $400. What e-reader do you guys recommend to have the best experience reading manga that I've mentioned?

Cheers!
