Just my two cents. I really tried Komik for a good month.

Amazing manga reader

---

Thanks for amazing reader. I spent long time searching for usable app to read my manga and Komik was only usable at all. And not only usable but with very clean design and simple settings.

My tips for making Komik even better:

• Advanced settings should be available from komik browser screen and not only from detail
• Display landscape picutre in portrait. With tablet, it is not too comfortable to turn it to side every time there is some landscape page between portrait ones. Other comic viewers allows to display such page in portrait. Display it simply smaller (fit to width) or larger with possibility to move picture on screen to see it whole.
• Option to ignore "thumb" directory (I have some larger volumes with many parts and after I read one part, it is really annoying to go through all thumbs to reach next part)

PS: I found in this thread also perfect viewer, which is another great manga reader but I like Komik more as it doesn't need tons of settings and simply work.

So far I've only really tried Komik.
I like the simplicity of it, no cluttering, no unnecessary options. But it is slow to load pages, especially when CBR file is a 100+ pages (15-20MB)
Also, sensitivity of the touch to turn pages or access page list is too strict, too often it thinks one wants to swipe-turn pages, so one has to tap several times to get the right tap and turn the page.

Finally, seems like it won't display GIF files in CBR even though the list view of thumb pages will display properly.

Would be nice too to be able to choose which cover comes as main cover in the "shelf" view, maybe by reading a specific image file at the root of each directory?

It is a CBR/CBZ reader that is designed from the ground up for tablets. First some background, I was disappointed with the quality of comic book readers on the market. The Xoom, with its aspect ratio, is THE perfect comic book reader (honestly, the aspect ratio lends to almost zero unused space), and the lack of polish in many of the other apps is sorely apparent. I wanted a reader that did a better job of showcasing my collection. This spurred me to build my own application, and thus began Komik. I would love to hear what you guys think. Any comments would be well appreciated.

Here is the market listing: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.komik.free

It would be very much appreciated if you could rate the application on the market as well Thanks! and I hope you all enjoy it.

Komik is the first comic/manga viewer and collection manager designed specifically for Android tablets. We are currently rapidly developing Komik and would love to hear any suggestions from you.

* CBR, CBZ, and image directory comic support
* Comic collection browser with thumbnails
* Quickly zoom in locally on a section of a page
* Page thumbnails to quickly scan through comics
* Continuous bookmarking for all comics
* Gracefully handles dual-spread pages
* Easy collection management from the library
* Easily zoom into pages


WHATS NEW IN VERSION 1.20:
*Magnifying glass. Place two fingers together on the screen. A magnification window will appear. Move fingers to pan.
*Improved picture quality while zooming
*Ability to set any folder on the device as the comic folder - EXPERIMENTAL
*Night and day mode quick toggle for screen brightness while reading
*Click-to-page turn is now available as an option
*Advanced reading settings
*Mark-as-read now marks all files in a folder as read as well
*Bottom notification bar is now hidden while reading
*Fixed a bug where pages would not load when going to the next or pervious issue in a series
*Additional memory improvements while handling CBRs
*Checkboxes will be selected or deselected when clicking on the cover image
*Additional help information



WHATS COMING IN THE NEXT RELEASE:
* local zoom improvements
* stability fixes

EDIT: PDF support is much much more involved than I thought. All the open source solutions are unsatisfactory. I am going to have to port over a library myself. That is by itself a couple month project. I think I am going to table PDF support as a priority until I get the rest of the application into a state that I am more happy with. I will get back to it after a couple of releases.


STAY TUNED FOR:
* More prebuffering for CBRs to improve speed
* Dual page mode
* Quick links from the reader
* Night time mode
* Search across your entire collection
* Collection browser filtering to find the comics you want faster
* A homescreen widget to quickly jump to your comics

I have one problem. When the manga exceeds 50 chapters, they arranged in the following order. (1), 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 (2) 20
and when they are + 100 its 1 , 100 101 and so on. how do i fix this

I think your app feels different and has a unique charm. Advertising is very well done – it doesn't interfere in navigating around the library thumbnail, but is noticeable while being well integrated and minimal. Another pleasant surprise was double-tap on the left or right page edge for navigating. Overall, I thought Komik was a delightful experience.
