This machine will be sooner than we think in a color eink format, and I firmly believe that Europe will see to it's birth.

That's it really. I got 'The Book' by Augen, and it worked fairly well. The text was sometimes rough, but ultimately I never had a problem reading any comics on it. Just rename the CBZ or CBR's to ZIP or RAR, and unzip. Voila - pile of JPGs ready for viewing on your device.
I've recently gone the way of Android tablets (Pocketbook IQ, looking into the Coby MID7015), still 7", and the screens are even easier to read comics on, and there are plenty of Android apps that can read CBZ and CBR files so you don't even have to unzip 'em.
The only issue I've had with a 7" screen is for double spread pages scanned as a single image. In which case I zoom, or unzip the file, and cut the image into two.

Where did you dig out this thread?
All I'll say is that the best comic reader is the iPad, as of this date...
That's what I use and it does a brilliant job, whatever Apple haters say.
