Sony PSP as a Manga Viewer

[ponyo]

This might be interesting to people who like Manga and have PSP. You can use the photo display capability of the PSP to read entire comic books. Pretty neat I think. There is also JpegBook which is like Ebook reader but I don't know how well it works.

I'll be trying this out once my 512mb memory stick duo arrives.

I don't see how it would be possible to really get a good look at the words and pictures on such a relatively tiny screen (compared to most computer monitors or the actual manga books).

Supposely it works pretty well for Manga as you can scroll, zoom, and rotate easily using the analog nub and buttons. You just use analog nub to scroll up and down the page. I'll be able to tell you better after I test this. I'm still awaiting on my 512mb memory stick duo from ZZF. It should arrive Monday or Tuesday.

I have my reservations about JpegBook but I'll try that out as well.

It would work well imo.

The defining factor will be how well the PSP's screen renders tentacle rape.

I read eBooks all the time when I had a Dell Axim X3. I suppose the PSP screen should be just as good, if not better than a PDA screen.
