i havnt had a chance to try it yet but with my og nook i used software called calibre to convert cbz/r of manga to epub files that worked fine you might want to try that and then read with the default reader though i dont know how well it will handle scaling

I'm using ACV and it works. The menu and back buttons don't appear, but I assigned menu to long press and settings to upper left.

In landscape mode, it doesn't scale to the edges. Only the center portion of the screen is used. Hopefully that's something that will be addressed.

What's WD?

Am using 'Daily Strip' by FuseTree LLC .. works great on a root NC with many, many comic choices and an option for 'favorites' one can easily use. It's free but unobtrusively ad supported.

install the soft keys setup, and ACV becomes an absolute dream to use.
