I couldn’t do b/w comics. The iPad experience isn’t bad if you have newer hardware with a good screen.

More times than I can count I've tried to pinch and zoom into a map on my Kindle. For some unknown reason it continues to not work despite me trying very hard to make it work.

I use the Kindle app on my iPad mini. It works great for me. I haven't read a paper book in at least a decade.

I use the Amazon Fire (basically their version of the iPad) - you can get it for ~$100-150 fully loaded, 2000 x 1200 resolution, etc. Also, because of the shape (can be vertical) is easier to read comics than my laptop. Also loads Netflix/streaming stuff. Easy for road trips/flights/etc

Generally speaking, I love the Kindle for reading and it's been my primary mode for 10 years or so. My noise canceling headphones and the Kindle make flying a lot more pleasant.

I had one of those for quite a few years (there was a killer sale on Prime Days one year so I snapped a couple of them up). I only switched to an iPad about a year ago when the screen on my Fire started to get a bit wonky and the battery life started to drop quite a bit. I definitely got my value out of the Fire, though.

iPad is great as I can travel with downloaded Exonomiat, New Yorker, etc along with Wash Post and Atlantic.

Biggest downside is I’m easily distracted from long reads as I can also
access the Net. I usually don’t connect to airplane Wi-Fi for that reason.
