That does sound nice. The color e-ink I've seen so far looks washed out. The color on a tablet (with a good screen) pops and looks very nice. But I wouldn't mind seeing a large, color e-ink reader.

What reader did you use?

I don't use panel view, ever. But Perfect Viewer, Comicrack and Challenger (all on Android) can trim the white page border around the panels leaving a page that is about the same size (or slightly larger) than a physical comic page. They can also be set to auto rotate two page spreads or even show two pages at all times. Though two pages in landscape mode on a 10" tablet is pretty small.

I have been eying that Samsung 12.2" tablet for years.
