Hello everyone,

I currently own a Kindle keyboard. I purchased it new in 2010 or 2011. I've enjoyed many books on it, but I want something more capable.

I still enjoy novels, but I read a lot of Manga. I do not like side loading on my kindle. It's a pain to download everything on my laptop and send it over. Especially when Manga apps like tachiyomi do such a great job with updates, and keeping track of my reading.

This is why I want an android device over a new kindle, or kobo..

I *can* read Manga on my old 6" kindle... But the text is so difficult to read. I do use it, but it's not always possible. It's usually much easier to read on my cell phone... Even though text is smaller.

So here's my question, the poke would render pages larger than my phone can. However, is the resolution high enough to make reading easy? Should I spend the extra $150 for the nova? Maybe I'd be better off with an 8" android tablet. I just prefer reading on an e ink display if possible.

Hopefully someone has some experience with these tablets. It's difficult to spend so much money on something I can't try out before hand.
