How do any of you read your comics? I'm looking for something like a tablet/e-reader that would support either web browsing or adding files without using a proprietary store and color screen. Bonus points if the screen is huge and I can compromise having one that is old, a little slow/low refresh rate and low res.

Currently using a MS Surface which is great but really heavy and slightly clunky. It's also shared so I have to give it back occasionally.

First time poster, happy to see so many people on Lemmy.

Edit: formatting. Sorry, removed duplicate posts

I use a larger sized (10") Amazon Kindle Fire. It's really just an inexpensive Android tablet. There's nothing forcing you to use Amazon's e-reader software (and whatever Comixology is now).

It's not a super amazing tablet, mind. They've updated it since I got mine as well.
