LCD screen vs E-INK for manga
Hello so basically I bought a kobo clara 2e and before that I always did read manga on my iphone 12 at first I loved the clara bc of how it was easy to hold and convenient in bed for eye strain and to not be distracted, I also love the fact it looks like actual paper so at day I use real light on it with zero backlight on the e reader but the issue is that after reading few chapters on it I felt something weird I couldnt get myself immersed as much as I do with paper or even my Phone ! I started to do some research and thought that it was only bc of the size being too small it was probably a factor but I think the major factor after comparing my phone and my kobo is literally the quality/sharpness of the image. The lcd screen just looks better and looks the most like manga paper after the actual manga and that makes me sad bc i prefer an e ink screen so my question is does an e ink screen exists that looks as much as an ldc screen as possible. I’d like to make the best compromise to not have a lcd screen but the best possible quality for a manga with it. I read 80% manga on my e reader.
Ps: if you want to see what im talking about here’s a vid of a guy who saw more or less the same think, skip to 6:00 : https://youtu.be/d-vRjY7h8y0?si=1b-ft-Ux1BhwLeUZ |

Most manga is printed on very cheap newsprint, at least before it is collected into tankōbon. I guarantee the e-ink screen looks better than that.
I do read comics on a tablet. Partly because American comics are in color and partly because tablets are usually able to handle the larger file size of comics. |

I wondered what was wrong with the 1.2 M 5.25" floppy drive (I think I know) and was thinking the smallest SMD IC on it is larger than a micro-SD card, which can store a MILLION times one floppy. And full size SD cards can have two chips in them. I used the 160 G Byte 2.5" IDE HDD out of a dead Archos player to copy files to the Win98 box by putting it in a USB adaptor for source and into a 2.5" IDE to 3.5" IDE adaptor/carrier for Win98. Eventually managed to install a 3rd party USB storage driver. Except I didn't need to do any of it. Oh well, the Realtek AC97 drivers (Mobo supplier or other) crashed Win98, so disabled the Mobo AC97 and stuck in a SB Live! 1024 card, which surprisingly adds SB16 emulation for DOS. Perhaps I can play ancient games on it. I read all the old 3.5" DOS floppies but not yet the CP/M ones and got most of the files (1993 to 1999). Nothing exciting. So a €250 10″ LCD Android with SD slot, or Nintendo Switch is amazing and makes a Win98 PC with expensive GFX look like junk. My wife got a Nintendo Switch and apparently if you get bored with what might be the biggest game catalogue it can "read" comics and epubs (poorly for the ebooks I think). I got her "only" a 256 G byte micro SD card as the larger capacities are expensive. Probably the SD card is cheaper than a box of floppies in real terms in 1990s. She's not tried comics (doesn't read them) or eBooks (has a Sage, did have PW3 originally). I think a Nintendo might be possible and it will drive an HDMI HD screen too. The OLED version is only a little larger. We got the LCD model. She has a 10" tablet but never uses it. Uses a laptop. |
