The only paper manga I have are western ones like Calvin and Hobbes. Japanese ones are too story focused to not invest in the whole thing and too large to invest in the whole thing, while at the same time not really containing enough in each individual chapter to bother reading again. For stuff like porn manga, it's like fap and trash. What's the point of keeping it? For the cover?

Is there a collection culture in Japan where there's stuff like rare printings of popular manga that go for a lot?

I don't think there is a collection culture. There is a store called Mandarake that is full of collectable books. All old, famous stuff. 99.99% of it is selling at less than cover price.

I started buying paper and collecting, but I kinda regret it. I like having books on my shelves, but within a year or two of buying I filled several bookcases and it's reaching a point where I'd need to move to get more room for books.

I still want to buy more, but I think I'm just addicted. Probably best to invest in a good e-reader and build a digital library. I guess buying paper books is still good for artbooks and series that aren't available in digital.

Excuse me, my good sir.
I downloaded some "materials" and i want to read it in a more convenient manner as opposed to zooming in a .png
What do?

i only buy artbooks and doujins that i find exceptionally good. currently have seven artbooks and more than 500 doujins. i only keep artbooks on the bookshelf, doujins are in a couple cardboard boxes on the balcony.

You need a device with a good resolution. My Galaxy S4 works better than my Kindle Fire did, because despite having a smaller screen the resolution is higher.

I've been able to read several manga series entirely on my phone using an app called ComiCat (I think it's $2). I can DL zip/rar files on my PC, load them onto my phone's SD card, and the app reads them from the archive. The app also splits double pages and displays them one at a time (if it displays the pages out of order, you have to change a setting so it knows you're reading right to left).

Unfortunately this means a tablet will be fairly expensive. I haven't gone down that rabbit hole yet, but I'd say to look for something with expandable memory (micro SD will let you hold way more shit at one time) and very high resolution for crisp images and clear text.

Print it out. You can even print on tissue paper or something and "heavily admire" your favorite images.

I downloaded 'em on PC and i don't have any mobile / tablet gear.
Unfortunately, that's my only way to read them.

What the fuck is this?
At least make the thread just doujinshi/artbooks if you post it here.

Paper. Reading in my computer (either comics or books) tire my eyes easily.

Paper, I`m very old-fashioned in this question. And I work with computer, so I just need some rest for my eyes - like good old reading. But, yes, you need free space in you room for you library, that`s obvious. Maybe I should try digital library too.

largely digital, but I do have a manga shelf

saves money and to be frank, it is easier to find a comfortable position with a tablet than a physical book. no need to worry about lighting and being able to turn pages.

the two-pages scenes are a pain to read on paper and it kinda kills the immersion for me, I prefer digital, only for manga though, light novels are fine since they don't usually have many two-pages drawings.

Reading them on a tablet is fun. I prefer books but they are expensive and take too much space. Also German mangos are a bit too small. Japanese get larger pages.

So, why does Crunchyroll's manga interface have such bad ergonomics?

Why not both?
