Joined by his faithful friends, Chris and Jenny, the three young heroes gradually find a way to use Max’s abilities to protect the planet and all its many creatures.
I haven’t read a comic book on an ereader, except once and I gave up on it… The Kindle Readers are very difficult to work with… 6″ is way too small a screen, plus the delay to zoom in to read the dang thing just takes too much effort.
I went to my Kindle Fire 8″ and had a better experience than on the Kindle reader…
Small eReaders are made to read books… period.
Thanks Nathan
It works really well on a smart phone or tablet as the comics are designed to move through the individuals panels on a single page sequentially — no need to zoom into each panel manually on a small device, say, even on an iPhone 5. It’s quite amazing considering the kindle app on iOS is pretty shitty when it comes to zooming in to read PDFs in comparison to the native iBooks app… in fact, one can easily — and comfortably — read scientific journals on an iphone 5 using the iBooks app as long as it’s formatted in a multi-column (2 or 3 ideal) designed PDF. Seeing colors instead of mere black on white is a plus and bigger phones or tablets would be even better. Several times I’ve tried to read comics on an e-ink ebook reader, and it just doesn’t work as well… In fact, I have already given up on that quest.
More about PDFs and journals: the goodreader app is STILL superior when it comes to working on PDFs as you basically can add all varieties of annotations easily (no need to type notes too as you can dictate anything and the phone will type your notes for you) and it also synchronizes the annotated PDFs to your computer/network storage/cloud account. No need to plug in your device and copy files in between. Quite frankly, I’d get an iPad pro anytime over the bigger Sony eReader if I wanted to heavily annotate PDFs. No need to worry about finding tip replacements too. The only advantage with e-ink is less fatigue (arguable given how easy it is to change screen brightness/colors/night mode), and the sheer lack of distractions with other easily available apps on a smarter device like netflix, a web browser, games, email, or whatever else. You are locked into a singular task — to finish reading whatever it is you have on file. On that note, the prices for the largest available e-ink devices are not easily justified.
