I sometimes read manga on my PRS-505. It's not a bad experience, but as others here have said, a larger screen would be more suitable.
The new Sony models, from what I've seen on youtube, seem to be VERY fast at zooming. If you want an e-ink device, the Kindle DX and the Sony PRS-950 are probably your best bets. The Kindle DX seems to be (again, I'm speaking only from watching reviews) a bit slower and more awkward than the 950 at zooming in on PDFs, but likely makes up for that with its screen size.
The - now discontinued, as far as I know - Irex DR800 seemed to me to have just the right page size for reading manga to me (8 inches, but still very portable), I suppose it's worth a try to see if you can pick it up on ebay or craigslist for a good price. It's not supported anymore, but if you somehow manage to find it quite cheap (I remember reading that some people managed to pick them up for really good prices after they were discontinued) it would probably make a good manga reader.
