What device do you use to read the majority of your manga?
| I was thinking last night when flipping through the pages of some tired nineties shoujo. Why exactly do I used my Kindle exclusively when reading manga? Then I got to wondering what everyone uses, and how their preferences were shaped. Thus, this thread was born. So what do you guys use to read your manga? Is there a reason for it? I like using my Kindle Fire, paired with some manga downloading apps. It's a lot lighter than my computer, so I'm comfortable reading in bed or on the couch. It feels like a book, but doesn't bunch up in the corners like real manga books tend to do. And if I download the manga, there's a lot less lag time in between page flips (a lot of manga sites are really bad with this), meaning I can complete a story faster. My kindle's kind of devolved into a one hundred dollar manga machine, lol. |
 |
| I read most of my manga on the computer, because i feel like I am damaging my eyes less by reading letters on a big screen xd But then again I read a lot of one shots on my smart phone. :) |
| I used to buy the books but got tired of waiting so now i got this app on my phone |
| Well I mostly read mangas on my phone/tablet, since I could just lie down on my bed and read instead of sitting in front of my PC all day. And for some reason I feel more comfortable while reading that way, since no one can see what I'm doing unlike a big PC screen. |

| I recently bought the Kindle Fire and installed Perfect Viewer, it's not too big and i use it when i'm on the train. |
 |
| i barely read manga, but when i do i use my tablet. it's fast and convenient. |
| You can buy lossless digital music from your favorite Japanese artists on https://ototoy.jp/. The songs are all DRM-free and you can re-download your purchased albums as you wish. Show your support to your favorite artist if you can! ps. if you are looking for Japanese albums, you have to search it in Japanese (not romaji). Just copy and paste the name. For those who want to learn Japanese through anime Resources for learning the language |
| I prefer to read the actual books. But if I don't have the book, I'll read it on my iPad or phone because it's more convenient than my laptop. I will sometimes read manga on my laptop, but not often. |
  |
| I will always prefer reading a physical copy, but reading on the PC ain't so bad, either. I don't buy a lot of manga nowadays (I used to and now I have so many that, were I an alchemist, I could probably reconstruct them into a giant tree) so I do a lot of my reading on my PC. Occassionally I'll read manga on my iPhone, but...it's not ideal. The screen is too small and I hate having to zoom in when the panels/text is particularly tiny. If I had a tablet I'd use that instead, but I don't so I have to make do. |
| My tablet App I use is Mangarock. I would buy physical copies more often if stores sold the series I want to collect. Reasons? - Screen is as big as legit manga - Huge library - Can read in the dark - Don't need to multitask (unlike computer) - Can read offline, without wifi |
| Currently read all my manga on my iPad Pro. I'm really loving the huge screen for this purpose too~ Used to read it from my desktop then on my iPad mini until I got the Pro. I tried to read once on my phone but I hated how small it was. |

| Tablet or phone. Phone's got a huge ass screen though so it's easy to read. The app i use is Mangarock. Got a rec to use it from MAL and it's indeed the best. |
| Using tablet, it's most comfortable, easy to hold and easy to use anywhere... In worst case scenario I use mobile. |
 |
| I use a tablet at home or in a car. But I read a fair bit on my work pc in my down time |
| If the manga is available English translated then I typically buy it and collect/read them. If not then computer/cellphone it is. |
| I buy them mostly. That's probably like how I read 95% of my manga. Sometimes, if there is a series I see people talking about that is pretty new (and probably not going to be released in NA anytime soon...) I will check it out online. Examples are Sakamoto Desu Ga and Tokyo Ghoul (and Tokyo Ghoul: RE). I actually am buying those series now to re-read, so that should tell you how much I prefer the book over a digital screen... |
 |
| I use my iPad (and MangaRock). My phone is just too small to read on and makes my eyes hurt, so I stick with the iPad. Lately though I've been buying my favorite manga so I can read them physically. |
 |
| I buy them mostly. But I have a MangaRock on my phone so if I can't sleep I read manga on that sometimes. |
| ~Where's Gnasty Gnorc? I'll torch him!~ |
| I read it on my iPad because it got bigger screen then smartphone and I don't feel easy using laptop to read manga. |
 |
| On my phone or laptop depending on how quickly I wanna read. |
| On my phone or on my computer if I'm at home (I prefer to read it on my smartphone though, I became used to the size of the screen) |
| 99% of my manga reading comes in the form of physical copies. Call me old fashioned, but that is my preferred way of reading! If it is a blind read, like after looking up a synopsis or something, I will usually read it on my computer. But if I enjoy the first volume, I will immediately start buying physical copies. |
| I mostly read my stuff on tablet. The other part are the actual books. |
 |
| I mostly read manga on my tablet, though I prefer a physical copy if I have it. I like my tablet because it's easier to carry around and read without lugging around a bunch of manga. So while I like both, the convenience of the tablet usually wins out in the end. |
 |
| Preferably books though I use my iPod for any non-print reading of manga I decide to do. Though the small screen and the screen brightness can be annoying and not as crisp pictures as an actual book which is why I read less online unless I have to for series like Holyland. |

| On my laptop. Books are ideal but I can't buy all I want, and availability in libraries is a disappointment. |

| yea physical copies are the best way but obviously not all mangas are licensed and it's costly af (broke ass college student) so mostly on my note, since it has a huge screen for a phone, and w/ mangarock, it's even better |
| I really prefer to buy manga, but for things I can't reasonably purchase (series like Red River which are starting to go out of print) I read scans on my tablet. |
| I use tablets since they're easier to screenshot. I prefer holding the actual book in my hand but I'm kinda broke |
 |
| Computer. Currently in my country, they are only selling the most popular manga like AoT, Boku no hero Academia, One Piece, Bleach, etc. (Luckily Noragami too.) So I can't really buy any of the manga that I like or are in my reading list. So I have to read manga online on my computer. |
| Help the industry and buy Blu-rays and DVD's. Noragami is the best anime ever.  |
| I am never tired of answering this kind of thread and post the same picture over and over again, haha This is my favourite quote after all. |
| It's time to play the Game folks! |
| Well they don't sell manga in my country and even if they did I couldn't buy them thanks to a very low purchasing power. I used to read on my desktop and then my laptop, but when I got my LG G pad 8.3, I could finally read all the titles that I wanted since it was much more confortable. |
 |
| Actual books. Not just like to read manga, i also like to collect manga so physical is the way for me. |
