eReader
I read them on a tablet.
Works fine.
Better if you like comic books
it really depends. if you're reading books - just text, that sort of thing - then ereaders are really well-suited to it.
if you're reading lots of PDFs - like academic papers and whatnot - then the conversion becomes somewhat gnarly, and color graphics (if/when you encounter any) become really awful.
for my money, i went with an ereader sized tablet. some people complain that you can get too easily distracted by netflix and whatnot with it, but you can also just not install that shit. it's crippling your device somewhat by not really using a tablet for all its potential, but your reading experience will generally be better than on an ereader (again, assuming you're looking at stuff where layout was already determined (e.g. 2 columns, figures in specific places, anything involving latex really) and color/animated stuff.

Tablets are great if you want shit in color, like comic books. Some ereaders are good for Manga, like the Paper white. If you're just reading books, then try to get a cheap ereader with a backlight.

This.
I use my cheap Chinese tablet for books and mango, nothing else.

You mean front light.
Tablet is better. You can use a tablet for a lot of shit, especially if you get one that supports 4G or something.
Only thing that an eReader really has better is battery life, but who cares, a tablet can get you through the day.

pretty much this. The grayscale ereader screens are really nice on your eyes and feel just like reading a book, but if you like comics or graphic novels then a tablet is the way to go.

That's what I feared, thanks for the heads up

I bought an eReader like 4 months ago, Im really enjoying it. I almost dont stay home so its long life battery and its screen that dont reflex as much make my life easier
An e-ink display is much better than any LCD for any kind of reading.
If u only want read book, ereader is the best choise, if u need read pdf, docs, and other types of documents u need a tablet, but ereader always is better for read in subway, bus, at the park, and they are very light

The problem with eReaders or smaller (i.e. 7") tablets is that the screen is too small for comics and often the resolution isn't great.
