Most of the popular eink readers are pretty equivalent for reading manga. I might give Kobo a slight edge as it supports cbr/cbz format natively IIRC (though it's been maybe a year since I tried).

That said, an LCD based tablet with 3:4 aspect ratio screen does have some advantages:

- usually tablets are faster than ereaders so page flipping will be faster
- if you read anything that often has double page spreads the auto-rotation on tablets is handy
- tablets typically have screens that are larger so those double pages are easier to read, and even regular pages work better for me (I find the standard 6 inch ereader screens to be just on the border of too small for me).
- if you read fan scanlations off the web, tablets are more convenient because of their vastly better web browsers
