So I would be interested to see how the iPad stacks up against the Kindle DX in manga viewing. Maybe I'll find out if I end up getting the 3g when it launches  |
My girlfriend did actually put some manga on it in the form of scanned images. I'd forgotten that.
They looked great. But the photo syncing system was a pain to figure out, and it scrambled the order of them, and she hasn't figured out how to reorder them so the pages are in the right order yet. But they did look great--and I'd imagine a manga app would produce better results than displaying scanned photos in iPhoto.
In any case, I'd think black and white would still look better since you can have a real white background, vs. the gray of an e-ink. Not to mention the faster page turns etc.
