The only thing I was put off by the linux way was how much setup would need to be done for making the screen vertical. Like if I had to go to desktop mode to rotate the screen every time i wanted to read manga. Whereas here i downloaded two apps, one for screen rotation control (didn't really experiment with adding gyro for rotation control, dunno if it's even possible) and one for manga.
Would increasing the text size help with reading? Sometimes I can't catch details either, but with how high quality the scans and software got you can just zoom in and the 7 inch screen will help with that.
Try KOReader, it can rotate itself any way you want. I also use a plugin for it which automatically rotates depending on the aspect ratio of the page. Can also change the font size on the fly, zoom in and out and it's available as Flatpak on the Deck.
The UI is made for e-ink displays so don't expect a beautiful UI with it but the reader is one of the best. I recommend reading the manual which opens on first start, it's mostly controlled by gestures.
I recently got a PineNote and have been reading my first manga (Berserk) non-stop since christmas in KOReader. I'm almost done with Berserk now.
I'll try it out, thanks!
