I love my Kindle so much for fiction and narrative nonfiction. I do not recommend ereaders in general for the following use cases:
Anything with illustrations
Anything you plan on reading bits and pieces of, but not all the way through
Anything where you plan on jumping back and forth where you'll have to rely on navigation links.
Those are much easier to read on your computer, and a huge pain on an ereader. But if it's something that you plan on reading front to back, Kindles are great. Also, the new Paperwhite is water resistant!

Agree. I tried loading some DC and Tintin comics on the Kindle. BAD idea. Not only was the rendering awful, it just crashed the device. I had to pick and remove those files before it got reboot and breathe again. Since then for comics I use either the tablet or just a laptop.

Yes. I have read that elsewhere too. Not a comic book fan though.
