Quoting my post from another thread. Sorry, don't have any Androids anymore (at least none that are readily accessible).
You can notice the pillarboxing in portrait on 4:3 (~0.3" on both left and right margin). On 16:10, you'd have some letterboxing (~0.3" on both top and bottom margin). On 16:9, you'd have fairly large letterboxing (~0.7" on both top and bottom margin).

For reading comics in portrait, then a 16:10 tablet fits better. Personally though, the weight distribution on 10.1" and bigger 16:10 tablets feel off to me. I like it on the 2013 Nexus 7, though.
However, I read in 2-page landscape mode and for that, 4:3 is more ideal. Besides, the 12.9" iPad is large enough to display comics full size in portrait (although you do get large margins).
4:3 is also closer to magazines, letter and A4 size paper.
Note: Text is perfectly clear and legible on the iPad mini 4. It's my camera and low light conditions that are at fault when it comes to the following pics.
