I'm thinking of getting an iPad Air for drawing and reading manga. I'm worried about how I'll be accessing my manga files though. I arrange my manga and comics in zip/cbz files, with different folders for each title. I've never used an iOS device before, it's only been Windows and Android phones for me up until now. Would it be difficult to replicate this system on the iOS? Will I have trouble going through my files?

>>107493515iPads mog everything else
>>107493527>72 percent of all devices are better
ios/ipados has a file manager and it does zip compression and extraction just fine
>>107493407I got the air for the same reason and made the mistake of getting the larger one.It's too heavy to read shit, if you're not drawing already don't buy it just because you think you'll use it to learn drawing, you'll stop within a month.I'm basically you from the future, learn from my mistakes.
>>107493407What's a folder?
Self-host Kavita and just use a web browser to access your manga on the iPad
Got an ipad air m1 from a family member and I believe it's too big for that purpose(uncomfortable to hold). Scrolling through manhwa also looked terrible compared to doing so on my 17 pro due to the refresh rate. Need the pro-motion screens on a smaller chassis.
>>107493515>Just get a 14 inch laptop like everyone normal person.SO true.
>>107494160>99% of devices are better>99%I genuinely don't understand, why does Apple insist on using these turd smearing mini-led dogshit displays instead of OLED. Like isn't Apple supposed to be "thing everyone wants"????https://www.notebookcheck.net/Apple-MacBook-Pro-M5-2025-review-The-fastest-single-core-performance-in-the-world.1144391.0.html
>>107494021literally every single person i've seen using mac has no idea how to use a file manager. their download folder is always full of thousands of bullshit files since they've never organized and they can't even tell if they're storing their files in the cloud or locally. finding anything they need takes them 10 minutes because they don't know how to search for specific files amongst the shit, if they even know what filename they're looking for. watching apple npcs use their computer is painful
>>107493407just get a used samsung tab and put mihon on it and use infinite painter (great procreate alternative thats only 10 bucks).
>drawingGet the iPad Pro.
>>107494300This, it won't have a CPU as fast but at least you'll have OLED which won't turn 24 FPS movies into pixel smeared shit.
>>107493549>>107494245this has nothing to do with op's use case. do you even read?
>>107493407I don't think there are any good local readers, I tried looking at one poing and just gave up. Your best option is probably paperback but you need to run a server on your computer to download shit from because it doesn't just read cbzs for some reason.
>>107493407get a toilet currynigger
>lagPad
>>107494245the new ipad pros are tandem oled
