I have put manga on there and, frankly, I'm delighted. It depends on how word intensive your comic is, though. My first try was really a perfect fit, and only occasionally did I have to zoom in to read a word. For a two page layout, I simply flipped the layout to horizontal. My second manga's words were smaller, and I did find myself zooming in more often--a slight annoyance, yes--but after doing so I could read the print.The pictures were perfectly fine. No complaints there. Your battery life will be shorter, though (for your .jpgs, at least).For the record, all my mangas were in .jpg format. I can't speak to how .pdf will work.

It will last days, but maybe 2 or 3 days instead of more. Jpgs don't drain the memory or anything. It's just that reading manga means you will be turning pages more often, and every time the screen flashes, it uses some energy.

How long does the battery last with .jpgs? Is it a matter of hours or can it last a day? I also am interested in reading manga on the 505 if I do purchase it, especially for long commutes.Thanks!

Manga2Ebook is by far the most user friendly comic converter, other converters only accept .cbz or doesn't work on vista. Just select a folder and it'll convert everything inside into a pdf file. It doesn't have an auto crop feature but you can manually set how much you want to crop on each side. Also make sure you enable auto rotate for doublepage scans.The battery will probably gonna last you over 2000 pages since after 1000 pages the battery meter is about half.

This is my second Sony eBook Reader and never saw different characters than are usually texts of books or files with which it was originally made&#8203;&#8203;. It is well to respect, and to avoid that I got used to prepare the material and electronic books with "Calibre" program, which recommend using. Usually there are no such issues with the ebook type, epub, pdf, doc and txt. Sometimes (not always), the problem occurs when the lines are separated two by two, which means that no difficult to read, but it is well in sight. Except this trifle the eBook Reader is 100% recommended and honestly have no experience with other brands to make a comparison.

The DVD is basically a bunch of pdfs with some menus added for navigation purposes. You can copy the pdfs off the DVD and read them like normal pdfs, but I've found if you're reading them on anything but adobe reader on Windows it will display a watermark across the comic. There may be some workarounds for this, but I never took the time to look into it.

It's real big display. You will have no problem reading it. That's a reason I bought it too is because of big display. Hope that helps you

Haven't heard of this before. I use a 3rd party reader and haven't had any problems, been using it with my 1000x 32gb as well as 800x 32gb.

Go to the Android Play store and search for ebook readers. In short, yes, you have dozens of choices for a variety of formats plus Kindle and other proprietary formats, PDF and a variety of open ebook formats. The only hardware aspect is this has a great screen.

I just took mine outside, It is a little difficult to read in bright light, as far as the ebooks, that are on a white background, it is much better. Hope that helps!

Joy, I just tried to see if I could get the e-books on my older Kindle Paperwhite e-reader to come up and it didn't. That doesn't exactly mean it won't. Best to either call the company or just purchase a laptop that does support it. I know my larger heavier laptop does. Sorry I couldn't of been more help.

I have this and I am legally blind but can see a little up close. I was able to see this when I enlarged fonts. As far as I see...NO AUDIO. I hope I am right. I don't see a way to attach earphones either. WHY DON'T YOU DOWNLOAD A BIBLE ON YOUR CELL PHONE OR COMPUTER OR TABLET??? My 7" tablet has audio KJV on it. I love it. You can listen!But you may enjoy this. Look further & maybe newer ones have audio?

I believe as long as the ebooks are epub, you should be able to side load them to your nook or side load them to an sd card. I have done that with my Sony, Kobo & Smashwords ebooks. I used to have a Sony ereader, and when I switched to nook, I downloaded the Sony ebooks to my computer, hooked up my nook to the computer, and dragged the ebook files to an SD card that I had loaded on my nook. Same with my Kobo & Smashword ebooks. Another option would be to see if there is a BooksAMillion app in the google play store. You could load the app on your nook, sign in to your BooksAMillion account on the app, and your library will show up within the app. I also just went to the BooksAMillion website and it appears that they used to sell Nook devices on their site, so I'm sure that would indicate it is compatible. Hope these suggestions are helpful and you can always visit a Barnes & Noble store Nook counter and the sales staff can assist you with any questions.

If you go on the manufacturer's website, they changed the material. You now get only 560 comics instead of 575. I guess if they waited for Marvel Civil War to be over, the we will have to wait until next March or April to finally get it.

I downloaded the different readers--I feel the same way. Getting used to reading on the little screen, well, it is nice to read in the dark with the lights off. I am now trying to get used to reading with the scroll function (it goes too slow, and then, when I want to reread a passage, it still takes some thought on how to stop the scrolling).

I loved mine and wish to get another one soon but you have to get one from someone with at least a 4 star rating. It keeps down the possibility of you getting a broken or defective one. If the person to got it from has this kind of rating I'd return it for another. It is a bit handier than my kindle. You have more app options for it and you can read from one than one book site. (Kobo, Kindle, etc.) I hope this helps. :)

This board isn't the best place for questions about Sony readers, I think a better place is MobileRead forums, just search on Google, it'll pop up.

I saw the same thing and wondered. I bought mine and it was the best decision I made. So much easier on the eyes then reading on the computer or my ipad. It is very slow, I was surprised by that but once you get your pdf open, its pure gold.

Jessica,So glad you asked before buying this thing. The zeepad we got was total garbage. I got it for my nephew and it was almost unusable. The screen is unreadable, it pixelates like crazy, and the device itself feels shoddy. Thankfully, Amazon is awesome and I was able to easily return it for a refund that I put towards the purchase of a Kindle Fire (the 159 dollar ad supported one). Lesson learned as far as I am concerned. The Fire is an awesome device and nothing in the under 300 dollar tablet market comes close to it for performance and value. As for 10-inch tablets, my ASUS Transformer is amazing and I use it constantly. Either would do what you are looking for. Hope this helps. Jessica,So glad you asked before buying this thing.

Hi! I have one of these, and while I love it (huge screen, great battery life, totally customizable file organization, best markup/annotation capabilities of any E-Ink reader), it can't read Amazon format ebooks (.azw format) and can't be used to access the Amazon ebook store app that comes on Kindles. It does (technically) have wifi capabilities that could be used to get to the amazon mobile site, but the wifi is unreliable at best and sometimes causes the device to crash.
