The deck is a damn good manga reader (lemm.ee)

Honestly, aside from the exhaust fan burning my hand sometimes, which is easily solved with a better grip, the anti glare screen makes it amazing for manga and books!

Try kotatsu too

what's the difference between the two? looks to me they're very similar.

it's ready to use without any set up, it does not require you to install extensions, it functions on the bare minimum permissions

It's newer than mihon which is built on tachiyomi and the reading experience at the end is similar, but even then I think that kotatsu is currently more of a rounded experience

Few things I noticed:

Better interaction with manwha and reading alongside manga
Better manga downloads
Better notifications for new releases
Easier to distinguish between who released in aggregators
Easier to find alternatives for manga on different sites for official releases, better sites, or on the direct fansites
Decent recommendations from different sites and what-not, where I found some interesting manga
Focuses more on the manga in question more than the source of where it's coming from
Allows for manga sites with accounts to be able to be logged into, allows you to use coins and what-not that way

Also, some things that it js worse than mihon/tachiyomi at:

If you have uncertain internet then it'll hang on loading even though you have the entire manga installed to the drive, which doesn't happen when you're offline
Slower updates on f-droid, so patches may come later
Less of a community, less people to help with making kotatsu work with sites, so smaller sites are less focused on
The reading progress isn't as accurate, and may show 0% on manga that are up-to-date, 99% on manga that are done, and 100% even though there are still 3-4 chapters remaining

Kotatsu: 1000014701

Mihon: 1000014702
