Manga/Comics on Nook
I sort of asked about this at the bottom of an ages-old thread but since the thread concerned the Kindle plus a project on iPad (I have nor wish for either). Both comics and manga seem to come in one of who formats (PDF or .CBR/.CBZ and of the two, PDF stinks on ice). Has anyone else tried this on Nook yet with any success? If so, car to pass on any tips? Any scap of info would be helpful. I have purchased lots of DVDs of this material and while it *can* read OK on say a netbook, trying to read a PDF of such material on an ereader is a prescription for pain.
There has to be a way. I am getting back into Android development after being off of a year or two but I think this may be a good "first project"... |

I have a few manga on my nook. I didn't do any of the formatting, so unfortunately I can't help you out with that. Honestly though, if you figure out how to do it and you realize it takes forever, I say skip it. The images look okay, but it's nothing to write home about.

Now never one to reinvent the wheel but if nothing exists *yet* and I just got my first Android device (well, second if you count the Nook) and have done Android coding before, why not make something that I/we can use? However it had to start with the basic question of: is there something out there and no, PDF readers need not apply; it might as well be in Braille. BTW, what is the extension of your manga? I am going to try some on both of my devices tonight to see how bad things really are.. Last edited by jeffcobb; 09-15-2010 at 10:12 PM. Reason: Forgot a question |

They're PDF and ePub -- the ePub ones are converted from lit, I believe.

And is the ePub better or worse than PDF (or about the same)? I tried a PDF of Battle Angel Alita last night and it was awful...I am more determined than ever to make a sane reader for this kind of content...

The ePub was maybe a little but worse. I have a pdf of Claymore and also an ePub. The text on the pdf seemed a little easier to read.
