I prefer reading manga on my Elipsa vs my 2E. Tankoubon are larger (23cm) than the Clara 2E (15cm) and they don’t have a DPI limitation, obviously. They’re more comfortable for reading manga than the Clara 2E (it feels too small and blurry). However, the Elipsa’s screen is 26cm, and although the eInk screen is a lower DPI than the Clara 2E, the added real estate makes for a beautiful manga display. Of course, my iPad is better yet, but I enjoy reading manga on the Elipsa over the iPad due to a lack of notifications and distractions. In that way, it’s closer to the tankoubon experience.

The Libra 2’s screen is nearly 18cm. That’s smaller than most of the tankoubon I have here. I used to have an Aura One LE. Its screen was almost 20cm, and I enjoy reading manga on the Elipsa more than I did the Aura One. The larger display makes for an excellent manga experience.
