I'm curious to know, how do you usually read on Tapas?
Do you read on your phone? On your computer?
Do you eat things up day by day, or do you wait a little while and binge it all later?

When I browse for new comics or when I'm about to read a long comic I usually do so in my computer.

If it's just an update of a comic I'm already following I'll read it on the device I'm using at that moment, but I prefer using my computer if it's available.

In general I read comics on my computer and novels on my phone because I read very close to the text (bad eyes).
I have a few comics I read as soon as an episode is out, but for many others and for novels I prefer to wait and binge.

On the desktop, usually binging until I get to the newest update then I read as they post. I do follow a few comics that I actually read on their website though, so I just like those and wait until I have a really big amount of pages to binge so I don't forget the story while waiting.

Binging on a tablet, but then I add what I'm following to an rss feed that I check daily on the computer.

I'm a hardcore phone user; i do stuff while traveling to college in the bus.
Hence why i didn't know about the new tapas layout until it was pointed out

On laptop, usually. The phone loads way too slow so I would close the app in frustration before I can even start reading :sweat_smile:

Mobile app for sure. My PC was always kinda slow at loading comics on the site. At least it was until recently with the new update, which loads everything faster despite my complaints about the rest of it lol I imagine that once everything's fixed for the better, I'll be more inclined to read it there assuming it'd still load as fast.

If I'm being honest, I'm kinda letting everything build so I can binge it later, except for one comic which I love staying up to date on. A total 180 from how it used to be.

My style of reading is very.... we’ll go with strange. Possibly neurotic.

I have addblock on my computer and I can’t be bothered to turn it off for anyone, so I only ever browse for new comics when I’m sitting at my desk, Sometimes I just have a bunch of tabs open of my older pages to make sure I’m consistent and using references of older floor plans. otherwise I’m using my computer for Pose references and random YouTube/music videos in the background.

I usually read the comics I am already subbed to on my phone so that they can get the benifits of adds and (cause I’m usually at work when they update). I read when they update unless I actively know I want to leave a comment or really dissect the resent page, if that happens I usually wait till I’m home to read it so it will continue to be marked as “unread.”

I split my reading about 50/50 between my phone and computer. If I'm working at my computer, I'll always read on the computer, but I'll read on my phone if it's before bed or I'm relaxing on the couch.

I try not to read unless I know I can have my undivided attention on the comic and can binge at least part of it in one sitting. If the chapters are longer, I feel more comfortable reading it day by day.

I spend so much time on my computer these days due to work and stuff that I mainly read on it too. Although, if I get a notification when on my phone for an update I do generally read on phone. So I guess, mostly computer except for certain circumstances.

I mainly use mobile to read both comics and novels.

Mainly read everything on my computer...if I'm starting out with a comic and it has a lot of pages/episodes, then I'll binge read as much as I can; once I catch up, I may skip a couple of weeks at most so I can read a good bit of material.

A little of both though weighed considerably towards desktop. Pretty much all of my new comic discovery is done through the desktop website because I'll poke around while managing my own comic on the dashboard, or if I'm visiting the forums maybe click on some links and find comics that way. I'm also just not at all a fan of the tools available for finding comics on the app- they've always felt more limited than the website.

But that said, I do a fair amount of single update reading from the app.

I read on my phone and tablet, but do everything else like browsing on the desktop version on my tablet
