I am thinking of getting back into reading comics/graphic novels and while I have the Nexus 7.2, that is just a bit small for my eyes and I hate zooming.
The reviews on amazon seem pretty good and I like the whole 4x3 format, especially for GN's and manga.

I'll be checking out Bestbuy later this week, but since I can't load a comic of my own to see how it works, I'm not sure how good a test it will be. Which is why I'm asking here.

Thanks!
It's a great tablet. I have one, the 580CA, and I love it. It replaces my Samsung Note 8 which was starting to be extremely slow.I use it for reading and take notes. Here a link to another thread where we just discussed this tablet: https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=270353.

There are two types of zenpad S 8.0 : the 580C or the 580CA. The CA, which I have, works with the Z Stylus (sold separately) and has a better processor. I don't know what is sold in the US, I have the 2GB Ram 32 GB with an Atom Z3560 processor version. There is a CA 4GB 64 GB with an Atom Z3580 version, as well as different C versions with various processors according to the countries they are sold in, those cannot be used with the active Z Stylus.

I have not read comics on it but am sure it would do very well as I have all my class books to annotate on it and all are PDF's, sometimes of a poor quality, but the display manages them without any problem and enables me to read everything, notes included.
