also I got to websites with firefox and download stories that are in Firefox Document (.htm) format so would need to be able to read them

also stuff like lit files and Adobe Acrobat Document (.pdf) if they do them also text documents files

also do they allow you to transfer stuff from pc to the reader
If your biggest interest in a reader is the comics, you may want to hold off for the Kindle DX or the Sony large format reader. There is the current iRex DR1000, but the price seems to chase most people away. I would recommend finding someone with a 505 or 700 and trying out your comic. I found that even with some of the excellent tools available on MobileRead that the text was just too tiny for me. And I wouldn't want to play with zoom constantly on the 700 to read them either. I think the upcoming 9.7" eInk screens will be fantastic for that and PDF technical manuals. Again, this is a personal preference issue and I'd recommend trying it out yourself. When I say the text was too small, it -was- legible, just very tiny and I couldn't get into it.

Good luck, and I hope you find something that works for you!
