I am still waiting for someone to introduce a Kindle-style device specifically designed for comic books. I am shocked that Comixology or Amazon have not done this yet. Using iPads and other tablets is not a good solution. These devices are too heavy, the consume too much energy, they are distracting with all the apps, notifications, etc.

There are "manga editions" of Kindle[0] and Kobo [1]

Basically just their normal version with more storage, though.

Especially manga since it's mostly black and white! I am shocked that not even a Japanese company has even given it a try
I used to read manga on an OLED tablet and it was wonderful with the true blacks. I've tried reading it on my Kindle and it's overall quite pleasant as well, but really makes you wish the display was bigger.
