However the eInk ereaders I've used have a 3x4 screen (1.333 aspect ratio) while Japanese manga is 1.422 aspect ratio and American tends to 1.50 aspect ratio. So while we use the full height of the screen, the image will be pillar boxed. Last edited by DNSB; 12-20-2021 at 05:43 PM. |

My daughter reads quite a bit of manga but she trims the margins and most of them fit her 8" screen without shrinkage (at least none that bothers her). |

Given that Japanese manga is 12.8cm*18.2cm and eInk screens tend to be 4.3 aspect ratio, a quick calculation says the screen should be 18.2cm * 13.2cm with a diagonal of 22.8cm ( call it 9"). Repeat the caculation for English using 12.7cm x 19.05 gives a 4x3 screen with a diagonal of 23.8cm or 9.4".
Your best choice is likely to be a 10.3" device (Kobo Elipsa or equivalent screen size). |
