Informal poll, but how many people that buy PDFs of digital comics and stuff on the internet read them on a tablet versus a desktop or laptop screen? I'm trying to think about what format to post things in.

I bought a tablet for the sole purpose of reading like 200 classic Flash comics back in the day.
With the size of a tablet, it feels like the best way to read digital comics, phones are too small, and laptops/PCs are too bulky.
I'm primarily a Desktop user and while I do plenty of reading of documents (GN's & more besides), having my iPad to read things on away from my work desk is a pleasant luxury I didn't know I needed.
All desktop, all the time, barring travel, in which case laptop. The only tablet I have is for troubleshooting purposes, the phone is a necessary evil mandated by work.
I'm almost 100% tablet at home and 100% PC at work. My Lady is 90% PC and 10% tablet. I read PDFs frequently on my tablet while she never does. So....the coin lands on the edge here.
95% of the time on my tablet, 5% on my phone, 0% on a computer. I strongly dislike reading for fun on a computer screen and never used to buy or read digital comics at all until I got a tablet.
PC only for me. Generally speaking, I prefer a ZIP of image files to most other specialized formats. I don't 100% trust Adobe to support PDFs forever (e.g. Flash) and it's nice to organize a more basic file type. That's certainly a more niche user concern though.

but i'm also generally paper book over pdf, so i may not be a good measure.
A zip file is possible but it's not how I prefer to personally collect things, when I can get them for myself.
