I've got a Pocketbook 360, an iPad, an Archos 70b & an Archos Home Internet tablet. I bought the first for reading books, the second primarily for comics & magazine subscriptions. The last two were bought because I thought that I could read comics (as well as books) on them using Droid Comic Reader at home or on holiday. Unfortunately the version available for the Archos is unable to open all CBR or CBZ files often posting memory errors. The best apps for comics appear to be on the iPad but I don't really fancy taking this on holiday.

I have considered buying the IQ but again Droid would appear to be the only option and that is restricted until the firmware is 2.2 or higher (and according to the ACV forum the latest version of the app is still displaying memory errors).

So can anyone recommend a decent colour reader (and app) for cbr/cbz comics? Or are tablets the better option?
