Recently for my birthday (and Christmas) my wife got me a tablet. I have been wanting a tablet for quite some time, but she's always told me that I couldn't get one, which of course didn't stop me from doing a lot of research on the cheapies out there. Anyway, she surprised me with an Asus EEE Transformer, with the help of my buddy who owns a computer store, and I absolutely love it.
One of the primary reasons I wanted a tablet was to read digital comics. I love my hard copies and don't intend to stop collecting them, but I have all these Git Corp collections that I want to read, and I hate reading digital comics at my computer desk. I want to relax on the couch or lounge in bed, like I do with a physical comic. I was looking into cheapie tablets for this purpose, and was about to launch into serious research on the Amazon Kind Fire before I got my Asus.
Fortunately for me, my Asus is good for a lot more than just reading comics. However, if reading comics will be a priority if you get a tablet, the 10.1 inch model is perfect perusing your favourite titles. The dimensions of the screen are better suited to a comic than an iPad, as a page fits perfectly on the screen. When I get to a two-page spread, I just tilt the screen and everything fits. While there is a zoom option I find that I don't really need it, I can read everything quite easily.
Now if only somebody would create an App that would let me play VS system on my tablet...a touch screen computer for a card game would be pretty darn awesome.
Hey, I've been researching the asus, and I tried one in best buy and the comics on it literally looked amazing. Now I was wondering if you were able to successfully put those git corp dvds on the asus? I don't have any of those dvds, but they seem like they might be a good deal. Thanks in advance for any info.
ReplyDeleteSo far the best option I've found is Perfect Viewer, which does not display the Marvel watermark on the image.
ReplyDeleteSo did you just import the pdf files on your computer and then transfer them over to the asus?
