However the eInk ereaders I've used have a 3x4 screen (1.333 aspect ratio) while Japanese manga is 1.422 aspect ratio and American tends to 1.50 aspect ratio. So while we use the full height of the screen, the image will be pillar boxed.
Thanks for the answer. It can be pillar boxed, as long as it is original in height and width (leaving just some boxes on both sides as I presume?). Then what size would be the correct one to get 1:1 and which models to pursue? I'm talking about Japanese manga (English can be also a nice thing to know).
