From the article:
Crunchyroll announced during Sony’s Consumer Electronics Show (CES) press conference on Monday that it will launch a new manga app named Crunchyroll Manga later this year as a premium add-on to its subscription service. The app will launch first in English in the United States and Canada, but other language options and web browser integration are planned.
Frankly i went with a normal 8’’ Android tablet, plenty of support for readers there, can use it for more than just manga, has full color, is bigger than almost all ebook readers available, and the minuses (bigger weight, higher power consumption, unable to read under direct sunlight, etc.) are things i can compensate for (to a bigger or smaller degree, reading at the beach is still an issue but oh well…)
