as far as you guys are aware, is there some kind of portable viewer with a decent size that one read their cbr/cbz on?!? i don't wanna read my digi comics on the desktop all the time. & i don't wanna read them on some tinyass mp3 media player,nor do i have the ducat$ to buy a laptop just to read my comics on. what are the alternatives here? is there such a thing as a portable screen with a decent drivespace to load your comics or pix on?!?

You can do this on the PSP. It has a nice sized screen for this sort of thing.

My PSP has pretty much become my main multimedia center on...Not only is it good for comics and music, its my favorite thing to view porn on...I have a 4 GB card for mine, and I literally have tons of clips and shit on it...Not to mention my saved demo games and all that...Of course, it's not the cheapest device in the world, but it is worth its weight in gold IMO, not to mention the fact that the new ones have a video out, so you can take advantage of all the $10 UMD sales you can catch...
I'm gonna get a silver one soon, probably gonna sell my black one or give it to Ra...

Check out Wiki man. PSP's are quite good for that sort of stuff.

You can take PSP's anywhere. Or I cant believe Im suggesting this but look into an itouch as well. It has a decent size screen and you can do a lot with it and take it anywhere just like the PSP.

Bro, I don't know, but the PSP I have is about 6 or 7 inches long, and has a screen capable of viewing images of any size, but the max res is like 480x260 or something like that...The screen scrolls, either way, so reading stuff isn't bad on it...PSP also surfs the web, a pleasant surprise I didn't even know about when I got it...
But like I was saying it has speakers and everything, str8 up owns an ipod...And with the new ones, there is a video out cable, so you can play your games/watch your movies/etc on a TV near near if you want...

It also controls and interacts w/the PS3, a feature I wouldn't know about personally but I know that rocks...

Wait...
So, you want something that's portable...But not a laptop...But has a 15" monitor..? LoL...Why not just get a cheap, POS laptop if that's all you want to do is read comics on it..? I Mean, those mini laptop things are smaller than laptops, but they're not cheap by any means...So my guess is that you're stuck...
