How do any of you read your comics? I'm looking for something like a tablet/e-reader that would support either web browsing or adding files without using a proprietary store and color screen. Bonus points if the screen is huge and I can compromise having one that is old, a little slow/low refresh rate and low res. Currently using a MS Surface which is great but really heavy and slightly clunky. It's also shared so I have to give it back occasionally. First time poster, happy to see so many people on Lemmy.

You really can't beat a cheap android tablet running Tachiyomi.

This is the way

I switch between using my phone and a Fire HD 10 and honestly I've went back to using my phone more in recent days. Like the other person suggested, Tachiyomi is godsend for reading manga/comics but is android only*.

Personally I find 10 inch tablet actually a bit too big and heavy espeically with a flip case. I think 8 inch may be the sweet spot if you were to get one.

*In the meantime, can I interest you in trying Tachiyomi on your surface through Windows Subsystem for Android? I just recently found out about a way to have WSA work and run APKs on Windows 10 natively; and Tachiyomi seems like a good use case for this since you said your current setup is clunky.
