Unsplash
It’s hard for traditionalist comic book readers to accept digital comics There is just something impersonal and detached, for an old-school comic book reader anyway, about reading a digital comic instead of holding one with your hands. But no one can stop the march of digital progress. There are just too many benefits to ignore when it comes to experiencing comic books digitally. However, the price of enjoying digital comic books can be prohibitive if you want to read them on large tablets.
Large Tablets
Even if you want to partially convert to reading some comic books on a computer tablet, many comic book readers are disincentivized by small tablet screens, slow processing speeds, and uncomfortable reading experiences.
Smaller tablets are more affordable than large tablets. If you’re going to shell out money for a large tablet then you should use it for multitasking to justify the cost. A costly large table should also be used for remote work, reading, social media production, and gaming along with reading digital comics.

Large Tablets
My advice to you is to make a plan regarding your comic book reading schedule. Choose which comic books you prefer to read in physical form. Then, instead of creating an ever-rising “to read” pile of comics you don’t like or take forever to get to, read those comics digitally. You can also sample comics by reading them digitally and then buying the physical copy later.
There are numerous digital comic book subscription services that allow you to read tens of thousands of online comics monthly for a few bucks a month, like Amazon’s ComiXology.
Also, you will need to pay hundreds, if not thousands, to get a large tablet with enhanced processing power. So, if you do, you might as well get a large powerful tablet that you can multitask on while reading comics.
Don’t get a large tablet for its own sake. You may want to invest in a smaller tablet first to see if you can get used to it before starting out with a more expensive version.
