So after lots of reaserch i have come to the conclusion that the tablet market isn't quite ready yet.

The ipad is good for manga, not so good for anime.

Android tablets have a good aspect ratio for anime, but not so good for manga.

Some android tablets have more storage than the ipad, but most don't.

A sd card slot helps.

Windows tablets would be the best bet (codec support, hdd size, can also run simple games/visua novels), but have horrible battery life and quite a miserable user interface.

So i guess i won't be getting a tablet just yet.

Thanks for your help guys.

holding something for half an hour at an awkward angle also isn't fun. most people prefer videos to be stationary.
All you have to do is study it out. Just study it out.

i just remembered something, the new PSPs, it can play both anime and mangas, though the video files need to be in a certain format to be able to play...

The PSP could play anime since the first one came out, and could handle h.264 mp4 videos. I don't know why you're capitalizing on "the new PSPs."

And you can't "play" a manga. If you can, that's news to me.

Funny enough, i have been using a psp for reading manga for about 3 years, and it's awsome xD.
