I love comics, and manga, but they're hard for me to read due to the cost. Digital comic bundles are great but then I run afoul of my issue with reading PDFs (it's really hard for me to read digital comics/books like borderline impossible for me).
Mostly I was reading Marvel with a little DC. Tried to stick to offbrand stuff in those lines instead of the X-Men, Avengers, or Batman etc.
Have you tried using Hoopla on your phone?
Never heard of that. Is it a reader? My issue is that the text and such is just tiny on PDFs. I had the same issue reading e-books for school. It's just easier and more accessible for me to read the physical medium. But the cost of it keeps me out of reading them. Do have a bunch of PDF comics from Humble Bundle I need to try to read xD
Hoopla lets you read from your local library if they support it. I use it to read all my comics.
Marvel and DC have comics there too, but I currently prefer indie comics like Hellboy.
Ah I see. Thanks for the info. Will have to keep it in mind!
