Owners who have written about it are positive: the screen size suits manga reading, and one expects to keep using it for a long time.
One owner says the screen size is just right for reading manga, and feels the M8 gets less attention than it deserves. Only one account raised this, so it is a single voice, not a pattern.
One owner says using the front light a lot has a big effect on battery life, and that grayscale content sometimes goes through the color filter and picks up a brownish cast. Only one account raised battery, so this is too thin to call a pattern.
Pick up to three. You get a page with just those, side by side, on the subjects owners raised.
What stands out in the accounts is the size. One owner calls it the right screen size for manga and treats it as the reason to keep it. Another says they plan to keep using their M8 for a long time, and a third decided to hold on to theirs after a black-and-white version of another device they were eyeing turned out not to exist.
The adjustments come from the color screen. One owner found that heavy front light use drains the battery noticeably, and that grayscale pages can pick up a brown tint through the color filter. Their advice was to avoid color displays if you will not use color much. No account describes a daily routine in more detail than this, so we cannot say what becomes habit after the first few months.
No account describes a breakage, a repair, or a part that stopped working. The only problems mentioned are battery drain with heavy front light use and a brown cast on grayscale content. Those are how the screen behaves, not failures, and they come from a single comment that compares several devices.
Long-term evidence is thin. One owner says they expect to use the M8 for a long time, which is an intention, not a record of how it held up. With one account per topic, we cannot say what keeps working over the years or what owners do when something goes wrong.
Nothing with a clear majority yet. Owners who raised these subjects were split, or too few to judge.
Nothing has a clear majority against it yet. Counted from the owners who raised each subject, not from everyone. A subject is judged once at least 4 owners raise it.
7 more subjects came up from fewer than 4 owners each, which is not enough for a fair reading. To see how it stacks up, compare it with another machine.
The same owner, asked again at each point. Fills in as owners answer.
Two questions: how long you have had it, and anything you would like to say about it. Then we ask again as it ages. This helps our mission.

Before you buy one used, ask the seller: how old it is, whether it was ever repaired and by whom, and whether any of the parts above have been replaced. Ask to see it run. A receipt tells you the warranty start date; most makers honour the term only for the first owner.
