The deck is a damn good manga reader

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!

edit : damn i hate posting images on this platform

you have such large hands, you hold it like I do a phone lol
~~What do you use to view the manga though? Is it a website or a dedicated PDF reader or something?~~ NVM someone already asked 😓
- match made in heaven honestly, big hand dream

What app do you use to read manga on the deck?
- Mihon thru Waydroid. way less hassle than anything else and android is great for touchscreen
  
  I'd checkout komiikku (think I spelled that wrong) but personally it's my favorite manga app. I installed Linux on a phone just to use that instead. It's on flathub
  
  Try kotatsu too
  
  If you want to read within Linux, Papers is touchscreen-friendly. KOreader is probably the best touchscreen experience, once you get past its awkward but incredibly configurable interface.
  My eyes are too old to read on the Deck's screen, personally.

You could run it in gamemode and turn the clocks and tdp way down would help with battery as well
- it was indeed on 3 watts except for Android bootup which took a bit more juice.
  
  Even with that low of a TDP it still gets hot ? Would trying something like Komikku instead of android take less power?
