I tried it (after you told me, before I bought my PB, that the Display is too small for Mangas ^^) and I agree with you in all the pros/cons you mentioned above.

Some Mangas I read (in pdf files) with the pdf-viewer (one chapter = one file). Especially, when one pdf-page shows only one Manga page (and not two..) I can read very comfortable in widescreen mode. Somethimes I also read in upright position when the font is bigger (without zoom).
Nevertheless I have problems reading mangas in pdf-format, when one pdf page shows two Manga-pages: because of the japanese reading direction (right to left) it's very difficult to work with the splitting/column-mode

I just started to read one Manga just with single jpg-files: With the picture viewer I got more shades of grey and I can zoom, too (but not as good as with the pdf-viewer). And it is less work for me because I don't have to create a pdf file ;-)
But this just works under one condition: the jpg-names have to be in the correct form (0001, 0002, etc.).

I save all my (bigger) pdf-files on my micro-sd Card (4gb) and alle my epubs in the device storage.
