I’m super torn between not wanting more Amazon in my life and wanting a convenient way to binge a lot of comics and manga
I want to read comics but I also don't want to miss out on that feeling when you turn a page and are greeted with awesome two page spreads.
Unfortunately no tablet or e-reader can have this functionality.
On my iPad, I use an app called Manga Plus and in landscape I get the two page spreads. I suppose any app that's supports two-page landscape view would work. But that wouldn't work well for smaller tablets
Of course. However comics have square-ish aspect ratio when it is two pages side by side and rectangular when it is one page.
No screen can accommodate this change properly, yet. Maybe folding or roll-out displays will manage this someday.
Like imagine reading this along
All these interactions arranged in a grid squares
And then you turn over the page to be greeted by this grotesque monstrosity
(The comic is The Immortal Hulk by Al Ewing)
