A place to discuss comic books of all types, from old to new, Big 2 to indie, and everything in between.

Floppies, graphic novels, compilations, omnibusses (omnibusi?) are all fair game.

There is only one rule:*

Comic Books is a no judgement zone.

You can talk all you want about how Rob Liefeld is trash, Bob Kane is an asshole, or Frank Miller and Dave Sim’s politics have made them toxic, that’s all good.

If, however, another user is LEGITIMATELY a fan of something you don’t like, that does NOT make them a lesser person. Attack the art for being bad, not the person for being a fan of bad art.

* I lied. There are TWO rules... No piracy. Cover shots? That's good. Interior pages, in moderation? Sure. Full books? Links to pirate sites? That's how we get things shut down. :(

I'm not saying it's been a problem, because it hasn't been.

Affordable tablet for digital comics? (self.comicbooks)

I’ve been using an old iPad for reading comics but the screen size is just a tiny bit too small. The iPad Pro with a bigger screen is completely out of my price range.

Any devices that has a decent screen size and are affordable (in the EU)?

What are everyone else using?

Stick with the IPad, the apps are better the screens are better. Even something a few years old will be better than any google tablet (even if just due to apps being tablet optimised).

I’ve got a 1st gen iPad Mini that I used to use, but it got real slow.

I recently fired it up, thinking I could wipe it and revert it back to the original iOS and it would speed up. Nope. I can’t downgrade it. And even if I could, the App Store doesn’t distribute older versions of apps that would work on those older iOS versions.

Sucks that that device is basically useless now - just because of software.

Like, if I could install some flavor of Linux on it, it could be useful.
