Yes, well, I tend to do 10-20GB syncs so that's usually something I leave my iPad doing overnight while charging. ComicGlass just syncs everything inside a specified folder on my PC so it's not like keeping my iPads in sync is a major hardship. A once a week sync while I'm sleeping is much better for me than being interrupted in the middle of marathon manga reading sessions because I have to wait to download the next volume over 8-16 Mb/s wi-fi.
Content management is actually easier on Android tablets with a microSD card slot. Whenever the current tablet I'm using needs charging, I just take out the microSD card, put it in a new tablet and I'm good to go.
That said, I prefer ComicGlass to Perfect Viewer and Marvin to Mantano, not to mention the 4:3 aspect ratio of the iPad so I can't quite make the switch to Android. Hence, my dilemma of $729 ($795 w/tax) iPad 4 128GB LTE vs $929 ($1,013 w/tax) iPad Air 128GB LTE. Another thing that shifts into the iPad 4's favor, I'm hoping the refurb iPads would still have iOS 6 on them. Really not a fan of the typography on iOS 7 so I'd be happy if I can avoid that.
