If you want to display comics nicely (I assume these are black and white comics, since you're talking eink) you're going to want a large screen device. The problem there is that large eink devices are both expensive and fragile. Unless you're super cashed-up, I think it's a bad idea for a seven year old, and it would be better to explore tablet reading with good parental controls in place. It should be pretty simple to just install reading apps and not allow your child privileges to install other apps.

I managed to teach my kid to keep a small six inch ereader unbroken (in a good case and with lots of training) once he was nine or ten, but it was a cast-off and it would not have been a disaster if he broke it.
