You can read comics on a 7" unit but you will need to move back and forth the page to get clarity. It can read comic strip style fine
There are some 10" units for about 200-250. The problem will be they usually are either direct resalers from China or lower end units like the Arnova 10, It is a decent unit found at some Sears or KMarts. The G3 Series is the latest and sells for about 175-225. But almost all of these sacrifice either warranty, functionality, or capability for the lower price. You can even find bargain basement type 10" for as low as 125, but I cannot recommend these in any manner
