Any suggestions on a light weight tablet for reading comics? 10inchs would be idle.
Light Weight Tablet for Comics?

Can do alot more than just read comics, with ease.
not ease on the wallet
The colours in those photos doesn't look great. I'd really like a colour e-ink reader, but it seems the quality just isn't there yet.
The first paragraph also suggests that they will struggle with comics, probably rendering them as pages of washed-out colours at only 100ppi. (Maybe software could extract the blacks and render the black lines/text at 300dpi though)
The way the technology works, is that you can read both black and white text at 300 PPI and colors at 100 PPI, on the same page. […] The B&W and Color filter have a hard time with PDF files, because they are basically big image files, although some PDF render engines can convert the PDF images to pictures AND text. CBR/CBZ, are popular formats for comics or manga, but they are basically containers for a series of jpg/png files.
Budget? I am using Lenovo Chromebook Duet + Tachiyomi that does comics + manga + webtoons, as well as a full blown Chrome browser that also run Android + Linux apps. A bit pricy for just reading though.
Go into officeworks and/or JB and see which ones are too heavy or light enough for you so you can see which ones you potentially have to choose from.
I've been looking for something similar, recently was looking into what is the best model used iPad to get and read this…
"But, believe it or not, the good old Air 2 still has the chops and is the best used iPad to get.
Back when the iPad Air 2 was released (2014), it was the flagship model, the top of the line tablet that Apple had in its portfolio. As such, it had all the perks, including a new display build, which glues the LCD panel to the touch sensor and covering glass very tightly together. As a result, there's no perceivable air gap between the glass panel and the content on the display, making for a very immersive experience. To top it off, the glass is covered by an anti-glare coating, which does a wonderful job. Since then, the coating and the super-thin display panel have become exclusive to the iPad Pro lineup, while the budget model has a screen that is perceivably worse-looking. It still has that Apple-quality of image reproduction, but it just doesn't compare to the flagship models."
