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.

On my iPad, I use an app called Manga Plus and in landscape I get the two page spreads. I suppose any app that's supports two-page landscape view would work. But that wouldn't work well for smaller tablets

Of course. However comics have square-ish aspect ratio when it is two pages side by side and rectangular when it is one page.

No screen can accommodate this change properly, yet. Maybe folding or roll-out displays will manage this someday.

Like imagine reading this along

All these interactions arranged in a grid squares

And then you turn over the page to be greeted by this grotesque monstrosity

(The comic is The Immortal Hulk by Al Ewing)
