Manga, unlike anime, require you to manually go to the page by clciking. This can be somewhat of a pain when you're reading for prolonged periods of time. Unless you buy the real books, of course. I solve my problem by reading it on a Kindle. We all know Kindle and its magical E-Ink technology that makes the screen seem like real paper. With a kindle, it's just as easy to turn the page as a real book, and it doesn't hurt my eyes either since the display isn't backlit - just like a real book. So what do you guys use to read your manga? An iPad? A program on your computer? Or do you just read them online (bearing the pain of scrolling down and clicking for every page).

Well there's a LITTLE bit of scrolling but it's alright. And all you do is hit the screen (anywhere) to go to the next page. Yea so iPad+Manga=Perfection. However.......I wish my one had 3G.....can't read manga on the go (without downloading before I go out)

However.......I wish my one had 3G.....can't read manga on the go (without downloading before I go out) Really? I didn't have to scroll when I was using the iPad (before I got the Kindle). Are you using GoodReader? That's the way to go. I ended up getting a Kindle because the iPad, just like a computer, has a backlit display so it kills my eyes when I read for too long. It doesn't do well for my sleep either.

Because the Kindle is exactly like a real book - it doesn't kill my eyes if I read it for 10 hours. The iPad 2 does. The iPad 2 is good for a lot of things. I use it for a lot of things. However, reading books is not one of those. The Kindle was designed for that one purpose and it does it well with the E-Paper display.

If you download and read it, the only problem you face is probably organizing it. If it's just a matter of reading online. It's not as smooth to read it however, it works fine. For portability, i just sync the manga onto my ipod and read it from photos. it's easy to use.I don't get how you guys are using Good reader though. It seems more problematic.

The clicking and scrolling is okay for me, though two-page spreads are a little annoying. I did find the jerkiness when scrolling down a page distracting and irritating for reading manga (because it makes my eyes feel weird), but I got SmoothScroll as soon as I migrated to Chrome and now it's not a problem. I'd love to be able to flick pages by hand, though... can't afford it. XD
