What do you guys use for reading eBooks, epubs, mobi's and comics? I'm using a Galaxy Tab Pro 8.4
i use a kindle for ebooks. don't read comics.
Got a basic Kindle recently. It's okay.
In retrospect, I'd get a base Kindle Fire for the color and touch screen. The basic one I have is buttons and black + white only with no backlight. It works fine for standard books without fancy drawings, but it's an incredible bitch to type anything.
I've always used Aldiko on Android, but recently I learned about Fabrik and it immediately became my favorite reader. The main reason is the fact that I don't have to copy/import the files, but instead just open the book straight from my Dropbox folder where I'm keeping my library. And it keeps a marker on there too so if I opened the same book from another client, it will remember where I am in the book. Very handy.
I have the 2nd generation kindle paperwhite, i thought about getting the fire or the fire HDx but I was mostly looking for an ereader more than a tablet and I feel the paperwhite 2 is a good inbetween. It is touchscreen, backlight for reading in super bright areas or dark areas and does basic web browsing decently enough. Not colour obviously and cant run apps or video or music, but as an ereader it's hard to see how it could get too much better with current tech.
Super bright? e-ink doesn't get washed out the way an LCD or AMOLED does.
My first gen Nook does great in sunlight.
And this one's really picky, but the Paperwhite and new Nooks aren't technically back-lit. More like side-lit to provide illumination without shooting light directly into your eyeballs at night.
