![]() ![]() The extension will work on Chrome OS devices and more standard desktops, but with the options laid out above, there’s really no reason to use it on anything but a Chromebook. Like many Chrome extensions, this one is supported by advertising, and there’s no way to pay to get rid of the web-based ads. The super-simple interface offers one- or two-page views with standard or right-to-left reading, with the fullscreen option controlled by the browser itself. The minimal interface can load up CBR or CBZ archive files wither from your personal Google Drive account or on your local machine. The Chrome Web Store isn’t exactly littered with dedicated comic viewers, but this seems to be the best among a very short field of contenders. On that note, it’s only available for Windows, more’s the pity. That specialization does seem to be a bit of a detriment for those looking for wider image file support or library tools, though-you’ll have to keep your files organized manually in Windows Explorer. This focus extends to more than just the right-to-left default page layout: the image display includes various tools that make black-and-white scans more visible and legible on computer screens, something that isn’t typically a concern for full color graphic novels. ![]() While you can certainly use MangaMeeya for western comics, it’s designed specifically for Japanese-style manga. It’s probably the simplest and best-looking item on this list (with no particular care for libraries or tagging), so it’s a pity that the developer has only released a macOS version. Though it supports all the common archive formats and includes the usual bells and whistles like double-page display and right-to-left reading, it does so with a minimal interface that will make you nostalgic for a Steve Jobs software demo. I think it's worth it to support the developer, but the free version gets the job done as well.SimpleComic uses the fluid, and integrated user interface that was popular with mid-aughts OS X design to create what’s probably the simplest comic reader around. ![]() There's a paid version of Chunky that unlocks all of the features, including being able to sync it with a folder on your computer and unlocking some of the more advanced features in the settings. Individual issues can also be grouped together into collections and folders, like this. If you download a folder with individual images instead of a pdf or cbr file, Chunky can create a comic book out of the images and the images can be smartly arranged in order (or manually rearranged). Think DDOS, think copyright infringement. We need to be sure scraping Bedetheque is legally OK before working on stuff like this. YACReaderLibrarys scraper is a stock feature, so there is responsibilty. I have it synced with my OneDrive so I can download any comic I want at any time from my cloud. Comicracks Bedetheque scraper is a third-party plugin, so the author of Comicrack is not legally responsible for it. When you zoom in with Chunky, the app actually fixes blurry text and can fix bad lines/coloring in older comics. Heres a page with the screen tapped once to show the menu bar. The app's design (you can tweak a ton of stuff, including every single color on the app by using a color wheel if you want the app to reflect a Green Lantern or Batman vibe). ![]() I'll copy/paste my comment from a thread a few weeks ago: My iPad Air 2 + Chunky is everything I ever wanted.
