the Android version of YACReader is coming to Windows 11 through the Windows Subsystem for Android, it will be available at the Amazon App Store. This is a big deal because it will let you use your touch screen for browsing your collections and reading, it adds support for remote browsing/reading, vertical scroll for web comics and more.

After some looking, I have determined there are currently NO applications for Linux that will open a .cb7 (7-zip compressed) archive and play the GIF images. My solution has been to extract these images into a folder and view them normally for now.

Among them is Calibre, which I use frequently to process ebooks. But I'm not into comics, so I can't tell if animated GIFs are supported. They don't give any information in the survey either.

EDITLuis de Sousa's comment made me curious enough to run a single try. I can confirm that Calibre can import and display *.cbr archives. The one I got, however, was an archive of JPEGS. So the full question of the OP remains unsolved.

I've hacked together a simple app to display "pages" of images loaded from the user data folder. These images can be hand drawn or generated from a PDF using a tool like ImageMagick and fine tuning with @timhei's onebitdithertool.

My intent is to create an app for the more artsy folks in our community to easily create comics or zines without having to build a bespoke app for their work. Instead they can simply share "documents" - which are just folders of compiled PNGs - and users can drop them onto their device to get crankin'!

Thanks so much for this! I just got it working and I think right off the bat I'd love to see a full screen option that got rid of the filename & page # on the top of the screen. I'll be messing with this more but great work so far!

Thanks much for the update and taking my request! I have a few more "like-to-have" feature requests below that obviously get into the panels territory so if there is any way to implement them it would be great as I find the panels framework a bit more involved:

My favorite comic readers are Simple Comic on OS X and Perfect Viewer on Android. However, last month I found myself in front of a big, beautiful iMac screen, a comic I wanted to read on the desktop, and no way to view it. I couldn't run native applications, and Java wasn't installed, so I turned to the web. I fought my way past the registration and uploader on All Comics only to be disappointed by:

Once I had the code running locally, I upgraded the versions of Bootstrap and jQuery, moved the title to a navbar, and switched to a dark theme. I cleaned up the copy and made small changes to familiarize myself with the source code. Once I began to understand the control flow, I was able to move the controls to the navbar to be cleaner and more compact.

Once I had the code updated, cleaned, and understood, adding features was quick and easy:

1. Fit to width and fit to height were implemented by css, and buttons were added to change the class name in jQuery.
2. Keyboard controls were added using jquery.hotkeys, maintained by jQuery author John Resig.
3. Two page spread took longer, as it required a rewrite of the comic page display code.

Hitting a Wall The only feature I was unable to add was Dropbox support. Dropbox was how I got my CBZ files onto the iMac to begin with, and integrating it into the UI via the Dropbox Chooser looked simple. However, Dropbox requires that you request user files from your server, and not through Javascript in the browser:

I hope somebody finds this project useful, reads a few comics, or even adds a feature. However, even if nobody ever sees this page, I've built a great comic experience for myself. Next time I'm in front of a big pretty iMac and can't install any software, my friendly neighborhood web-slinger will be there to save the day.

I've recently purchased a Lenovo Yoga Book which I am intending to use mostly as a tablet. I want to read my comic collection (mostly CBZ and CBR files) on here but have had a hard time finding a Windows App that has touchscreen support.

I originally tried to use ComicRack as I have used this in the past but I have found that I can not get the touchscreen functionality it is suppose to have working and can not find any useful documentation or community to ask for help (In a reddit thread I found everyone stated that they never got it working).

The next most popular I've seen is YacReader but it also does not appear to be touchscreen friendly. After looking around I have not been able to find any programs that mention they are touch screen friendly for Windows.

Does anyone have any suggestions for Windows Applications that are touch screen friendly for reading comics? Its getting to the point I'm debating running BlueStacks so I can emulate PerfectViewer or the Android version of ComicRack.

I had the same problem with ComicRack. It frustrated me to hell that I couldn't get the touchscreen functionality to work, but then I reviewed the ComicRack manual and learned what the "gestures" are. See attached image. "Gesture 3," which is set for "next page" is a small square area in the top right corner of the screen just under the toolbar. When I say small I mean I can cover the entire square with my finger, but it was there, and "gesture 1" for "previous page" is in the opposite corner on the left. I can now finally use ComicRack as my default comic book reader. Hope this answer helps anyone else that was looking for help.

3. This was all based on under 1000 answered questionnaires out of 3200 inserted in comics. The incentive to answer the packet was a free copy of Zero Hour #0 autographed by the editor (my hubby) KC Carlson.

There was also a comparison to the previous studies, which shows that male readers were always over 90% of the audience, that the audience was getting older, and as they aged, they were less likely to live with their parents and more likely to live with a spouse or partner.

Title is simple enough. As I usually swim in the shallow end of collecting pool the majority of my key books would be considered "Reader copies" by some eventhough they may cost a few hundred dollars in the grade they are in. I'm wondering what the majority of forumites would consider a Reader Copy?

I think it more depends on your level of financial security. An FF #1 2.0 is about $4000 or more. I'm not flipping through that on a whim. Unless I'm sitting in my 100% Corithian leather chair and lighting my cigars with hundreds.?

I consider any of my books graded PR 0.5 - GD 2.0 to be a reader copy and wanting to complete my runs and collecting on a budget reading copies are what I look for these days on the higher priced early issues.

If I hear someone describe a book as a reader I think of 2.0 and under. Really doesn't matter what age it is the term "reader" copy is a grade people don't worry about damaging and anything below 2.0 can't really get hurt by reading it and inflicting an additional small spine tick or bend.

I define a reader copy as one you can read and probably not hurt the value on-- they should be cheaper to buy and when sold as "reader copies"- you should not get upset about what grade they are in when you get them. The pictures/scans tell the story. Some sellers use it as a way to avoid the work of describing the flaws of a book-- when there are many flaws. Be sure to check that they include the word "complete" though -- as some readers are missing parts. If you sell me a reader you said is complete-- it better have the full book without any cutouts or missing pages.

The age of the book and rarity factor in for me as well. I don't really collect GA so my guess there is around 2.0 and down. Silver - I usually look at 3.5 and lower as reader copies. Bronze - 4.5 and lower. I don't really deal with Modern but I typically think most of those books should be very high grade to be collectible so anything under 6.0 is most likely a reader for those collectors.

Readers are awesome imo -- they can really help you complete a collection and should not be dismissed. I've never had anything slabbed (or plan to do so) so being able to read a comic is sort of a given to me. Just be careful.

After reading this comic, I finally understood what dying must have felt like for my father. He lived the life of a good man, but in the end, his body betrayed him until he faded away on a Sunday morning a week before Christmas 1988.
