ipad for reading (not just golden-age) comics
narfstar:
Those are just one reason why I refer to it all as Apple Crap. They have done their best to make everything their way. They have whipped their followers into the belief that their way is the best even if it does not make sense. Go with a droid or Windows tablet and enjoy the normal way of doing things. I guess you can tell I do not like the Mac way of business.

Thanks Narf. Right now I'm still leaning towards an iPad because of their light weight. One thing I now consider maybe most vital about a tablet is light weight. An iPad is half the average weight of other tablets. It might be enough to make me break down and buy an iPad even if I agree it's stupid as hell not to have any ports on them.

But the ports ruin the all-important sleekness, Yoc! You need a sleek computer, otherwise what's the point? Did you learn nothing from those Jeff Goldblum commercials making fun of the color beige?
...Jony Ive!
Yeah, it's stupid. At the beginning, it was standard Apple: A new computer product requires every developer rethink how to use a computer. Now, because they're so thin, it actually makes a certain amount of engineering sense. But between the two...?

I simply use Kindle Reader app on my iPad Pro which works pretty good for me.

The Android people don't have the marketshare (or the tools or discipline to produce consistently-good software), but they have the same basic structure as the iPod approach wthout the need to bottleneck everybody.

I agree: Android tablets work great for reading digital comics, and they have a real file system; On my Samsung (Android) tablet I can easily download comics I stored on Google Drive, or I can just transfer them from my hard drives via removeable SD card or by using WiFi/FTP transfer.
Downloading comics on iPad is incredibly frustrating, but fortunately the Chunky comic app on iPad lets you download them directly from cloud storage like Google Drive or Dropbox. Now that I’ve gotten used to iPad’s bizarre approach to file storage it’s almost as good as my previous Android experience.
