Why is the kindle 3 so bad for manga? I usually buy the volumes and their page size wouldn't be bigger than 6 inches.

@ozkidzez91 The size of the kindle screen is a lot narrower than actual manga. You have to have borders at the sides to fill the entire screen which makes small text harder to read!

so which is better for manga's¿?

[thatstotallytroy]

@towes the larger DX by far!

@thatstotallytroy I see, now how much it cost? Btw in the first kindle you werent able to read mangas right? Now the new ones have te support for extension like jpg or what's the deal? Sorry I'm a n00b in this subjet :$

[thatstotallytroy]

@towes :S i'm not too sure about the old ones but I know the newer ones can use jpg's and pdf's. u can check prices on amazon!

I wish they made DX versions of the newest gen Kindle.

@ozkidzez91 A Manga page is 8"

That's like comparing a Ferrari with a Volkswagen! What's the point ?!

@Kawayol There is an app called Mangle, with it you can automatically convert the images to be best viewed in Kindle, you can choose the version of the Kindle: 1.2, 3, or DX, it does the job automatically.

Just search on google is free, no installation needed.

Most manga scans these days are done in .png, not in .jpg...

If this thing supports .png (I wanna read Hajime No Ippo, Sakigake!! Otokojuku and etc., in the metro/train and etc.), then I'm all for this DX.
