I still have an old Kindle and it still gets months of battery life. I occasionally read comics so this may get me to upgrade.

Hard disagree, e-ink is fantastic for two thing, reading and battery life. Everything interactive, you're better off with a tablet.

Comics are a form of reading

We both mentioned it separarely. And for a good reason imo, traditional books are a much better fit for e-readers because reflowing text just werks while comics are going to be a lot harder.

Note that the usual responsiveness problems dont apply when you use a pen to take notes, as the pen just directly pulls up the ink pellets in the screen.
