Love your video style, and this was so helpful. Thank you!
Thanks so much! I tried finding a similar video for my own purposes and found that no one had quite made what I was looking for so I figured I'd make it! I'm still trying to figure out the best apps to use though. Do you have any recommendations?
Fire 10 is the best thing i bought for comics. i use Tachiyomi tho coz well i like free and how simple it is.. and it awesome, can read in one go like half a day xD Takes a while to charge but if iv been reading half a day its an welcome time off to rest eyes.
But yeah, great recommendation. !
Ooooh I've never heard of Tachiyomi! I'll have to check that out! Thanks for mentioning that!
This video changed my mind and I went with the Fire 10 instead of the Fire 8. Thanks.
I'm so glad I could be helpful to you! I'm hoping that on the next refresh of the 8 that it'll be fast enough for a more comfortable experience. I know some prefer the 8 for the additional portability, but the slowness would drive me nuts for sure.
Great video! In terms of android tablets, I've heard good things about the CHUWI Hipad Plus which is 11" although haven't been able to get one in Canada yet.
That's pretty interesting! Definitely a good looking device with a competitive price at(as of this message) 169.99 compared to the Amazon Fire tablets MSRP.
This was helpful! Thanks!
I'm really glad it was helpful to you! Thank you for your support!
Ty for the video! Planning on doing ALL my reading on one device even comics and manga. I think the perfect device for me would be the Kindle Oasis if they made it fast with a color screen. Something small, ergonomic, but high quality with a good screen. Too bad the fire 8 doesn't really hit the mark. Wasn't impressed with it from what i saw in your video.. But i also am not fully sold on the 10... Maybe I should just bite the bullet and get an ipad air, then i could use it for almost everything as well as reading..
Glad the video helped! I hear what you mean about the Oasis. I've been wanting an E-Ink screen tablet for comic books too, but they are still quite a ways off from being good enough and cheap enough to be reasonable. The big reason why I like the Fire 10 is because it's really inexpensive and fast enough for my needs. $50 is cheap enough for me that I dont' need it to do more than read comics and I won't be as upset if something bad happens to it either. I'd be really upset if an iPad broke or got stolen though since they cost quite a bit more. There are definitely better tablets, but they are all quite a bit more expensive. I'm really interested in trying a tablet that is closer in size to a real comic book page.
Another amazing video keep it up.
Thank you so much for your support! It really does mean a lot and helps drive me to keep going at it!
Would love to hear from anyone who went with the Fire 10. Are you happy reading comics on it?
I have the Fire 10 and really enjoy reading comics on it. It's very easy and really gives as close of an actual comic reading feel. I am using Comixology with it and it runs very smoothly.
So I've not been reading a ton lately(busy making UA-cam videos!) but I've done quite a bit of reading on the Fire 10 and I do like it a lot. Between display, price, and speed it really is a great tablet for comic reading. Though I'd like to test the newer Fire 8 as well to see how that holds up since it does have newer/more CPU cores so maybe it's enough to make it more usable?
The fire hd 10 plus is on sale right now for just $104
That's not bad if you're in dire need, but I'm confident it'll be a good bit cheaper during Black Friday!
The fire hd 10 is now $75 and the hd10 plus is $100. I believe this is their Black Friday seasonal sale.
I bought a Fire HD 10 to read and consume streaming video. It's not perfect, but it's quite competent.
I agree! Especially if you're able to get it at a really good price. Do you read at all on your phone too? Or do you only do that on the tablet?
@@ComicallyToys I opted to just use the tablet for this function because of the larger screen. Reading on the smartphone is very uncomfortable.
Perfect video that I have been looking for. One thing I was wondering is, how heavy is the HD 10? My old tablet was really heavy and holding it for comic reading overtime made my arms sore.
Thanks I'm glad it was helpful to you! In terms of weight, Google says it weighs 432 grams. I usually read in bed or on my lap so I don't notice the weight too much myself, but it definitely feels lighter/cheaper than an iPad(which, for reference, the current model weighs 461 grams).
@@ComicallyToysI ended up getting the fire 10 HD and it lives up to all my expectations. It's a perfect digital comic book reader
@@privateprivate31337 Nice! If you didn't know, Amazon is also releasing an 11 inch Fire HD too. I'm hoping I can get it for maybe 100-ish after another trade in plus Prime day promo or something like that. The closer we can get to a full size comic page the better!
@@ComicallyToys I didn't know that! I think I am happy with the 10" since it still has the old software which I could mod into stock Android
@@privateprivate31337 Yup that's totally fair. The Fire OS is still pretty limited. Hopefully it isn't too long before people figure out how to do the same with the new 11" model, but either way, the 10 is still a fantastic way to read comics for the price!
Thanks. This helped
I'm really glad it helped you! I'm still looking to see if there are other really good values for reading comics on the go. What are you currently using, if anything?
@@ComicallyToys fire hd8. Small footprint with readability/usability issues though.
@@starkyrulz Yeah I was definitely a bit bummed by how much slower the HD8 is versus the HD10, because the HD8 is definitely more portable(and nearly pocketable) than the HD10 is. Maybe on next years model?
Is Comixology still good still? I hear they layoff a lot of people this year.
I think there was a period where once Amazon Comixology that it was actually quite good. But as an app, it's functionality was still pretty limited in something I'd want to use. The content is really where had it's most potential and it was really good because of that, but Amazon clearly is just finding more ways to cut costs to drive profits even higher. Unfortunately a lot of my digital comics are with them(Amazon/Comixology) so those are "stuck" there for now. I doubt the Comixology app will get any better especially now with the layoffs. So to answer your question, I'd say yes it's still good as a source of legal digital comics, but I'd also say no it's not good based on app quality and of course the impact it has on the comic book community. Luckily this should mean new apps can take a shot at the top(I've heard of at least one that is growing in popularity), but we'll see how it all plays out as time goes on.
Personally, I wouldn’t want to read comics on a screen less than 12 inches.
I think until there is a good 12 inch under $150 then it's going to be REALLY hard to beat the Amazon Fire tablet, but I would LOVE to get a 12 inch tablet for comics. That's a dream!
@@ComicallyToysYeah, it depends how much you read on it. I read on mine every day. There is a 12.7” tablet from Lenovo (Lenovo Tab P12) that sells for $300. So, the prices are getting there…
@@gameofyou1 Ooooh that's pretty interesting! $300 isn't bad for sure. It's within the realm of reasonable-ish depending, like you said, how much you read on it. How do you like it? Did you try any other tablets too? And/or what other devices were you considering when you settled on that one?
@@ComicallyToysI read on a 12.9” Ipad Pro, that I bought when they first came out. It is perfect for both comics and magazines (with 4:3 ratio screen). I am looking at the Lenovo as a possible replacement (or travel tablet). I don’t own one yet, but I have looked at one at Best Buy. The Lenovo’s 16:10 ratio screen looks like an exact fit (or very close) for comics. Plus, you can’t beat the price. The Ipad was over $1,000 when I bought it! Honestly, though, I have definitely gotten my money’s worth out of it, over the many years I have used it.
@@gameofyou1 Did you end up getting that Lenovo?
