iPad mini iPad Mini, how is it for reading manga?

[usbwire]

anyone have the latest mini and use it to read manga? Is it worth it compared to reading manga on your phone? Ofc it would be used for other things too. 😛

Just really in the manga reading mood.

Also is the mini comfortable in bed?

it has a size of a manga volume, so it’s really comfortable in a hand (easy to hold in one hand).
it’s much better to read anything than on a phone - cause it’s bigger obviously.

i had a mini 6 for ebooks and loved the size (changed it for Air tho, but due to the usage for handwriting and the need for bigger screen for this)

The mini 6 is very good for reading manga in portrait.

I prefer reading in 2-page mode though so I tend to reach for the 11" more.

Thanks all 🙂

By and large the Mini is a great reader but there is one knock on it - the lack of bezels. My palm covers up part of the screen when I hold it. Overall I do like it, and its a great tablet.

Perfect, it’s basically the same as a physical volume

I find the 12.9 not as great as you’d expect. Official scans often aren’t done at high resolutions, so text can get a bit blurry

I’ve been pleasantly surprised, but this has become one of the primary uses of my iPad mini. I use Comixology mostly and in portrait it’s very comfortable with its aspect ratio. Side-by%side horizontal view is a bit small, but I only use it when there is a dual page pane to be viewed.
