The Kindle Basic is a horrible Reader. It's only 6" with a low res screen (800x600). It's obsolete.

I have a Kobo Aura H2O and a PW3 and I prefer to read with the H2O. I like the larger 6.8" screen and it's nice and clear/sharp. For reading manga, you do want the larger screen.

However, the H2O is a bit old. It's almost 6.5 years old since it was released and it's no longer a current model. . No idea the condition of the battery. If you can, I suggest you get a Kobo Libra H2O 7" screen) or the Kobo Forma (8" screen).
