10.5" 4:3    5.6" x 8.4"
10.1" 16:10  5.4" x 8.0"
9.7"  4:3    5.2" x 7.8"
10.1" 16:9   5.0" x 7.4"
Thanks for the data. At any rate, the size of the image on the average Android tablet will be larger than the size of the same image on the average iPad or other 4:3 tablet. So based solely on screen size, the 16:10 would be a better device to read comics.

Now the iPad may have a better screen, better comic reading apps, etc. that make up for it. I'm just responding to the argument made in post number #10 (an argument I've seen before and believed until I bought a 4:3 tablet myself).

As mentioned, the 4:3 excels in landscape pages and with British comics.

I also forgot to mention that in your screenshot of Action #1,000, in every instance the iPad looked so much better than the paper comic. It was likely the lighting, but still, it was something to see.
