    Default Samsung Galaxy Tablet 10.1 Vs New iPad For Reading Digital Comics

    In a new video David Berlanga looks at the merits of reading digital comics on the Samsung Galaxy Tablet 10.1 over and above the new retina screen iPads.

    He starts by comparing print to digital, befoire comparing your digital reading choices around the eight minute mark. During which he makes some very valid points I hadn't even considered...

    Put simply, your average, american-style, monthly, fits better (in portrait mode) on the widescreens of the android ten-inchers.
    Run Perfect Viewer and CBR files through it, there is nothing better.
    I can only imagine how sexy it is on the new *ridonkulous* google nexus 10.

    Android OS is kaka.

    iOS reigns supreme!!!
    You play, you win, you play, you lose. You play. It’s the playing that’s irresistible. Dicing from one year to the next with the things you love, what you risk reveals what you value.

    Loathesome I am and evil, you can mock me for that. But leave my pain alone.

    The Dark Side of the Force is a pathway to many abilities some consider to be….unnatural.

    Sticks and stones may break my bones but cement pays homage to tradition.

    Hmm. I'm in the market for a tablet after Christmas. I'm very keen to wait and see how the Windows Surface Pro is reviewed, but if I decide I can't wait/discover it's horribly overpriced/it turns out to be shit, I'll definitely be considering a Galaxy Tab. I have an Android phone, so I'm pretty deep in the Google ecosystem anyway, but on the other hand if the Surface Pro does turn out to be good, I'm keener on the idea of having a device that isn't just a giant version of my phone.

    As far as the comics thing....I'm still not completely sold on the idea of switching fully to digital, but that video did make it look a bit more appealing. I hate, HATE that guided view crap that only lets you view one panel at a time, and the art does look very tasty on that big bright screen.

    Actually David didn't take into account the real great guided view in ComiXology (which works both on the iPad and any Android device) which makes his point reading "wide screen" mood.

    Besides that the Android App doesn't support ComiXology HD format, which makes in huge difference in crispiness.

    What he also didn't mention was the fact that Marvel is working an a MDCU App!

    I was playing around with a Nook 7" tab at Office Max the other day. The thing had an issue of Justice League loaded onto it for preview purposes and I was overall satisfied. While I know for certain a 9/10" tablet would be better suited for a comic book, the 7" got the job done fine. I think I'm going to opt for the 32GB Nexus 7 early next year.
