They don't have SD card slots to save less than $1. It's terrible. Though my Android eInk (Mars) has an SD card slot it only seems to work up to 32G. I've a really old camera that was sold before bigger than 32G cards existed and it works up to 2T byte.

The original publication size of manga is typically ~A4 in whatever magazine it is originally serialized in*. The manga you typically see in stores is sized reduced for cost and storage reasons. Sometimes they will put out volumes of popular series in the original size.
Western comics for whatever reason outside of Archie comics, never want to size reduce. But IME they can be pretty readable on a sharp 7"-8" screen since that's pretty close to what Archie digest size is.
Some devices need you to format a bigger than 32GB card to fat32 before they will work.
