I pretty much read all my comics with the Windows Cover App on my Surface these days.

Just did a search for it and the first thing that came up was a reddit post from two years ago that it is gone from the Play Store.

I guess best case scenario at this point, since the app’s been dead for years now, is hope to find a cracked version that doesn’t do the license check

What does ComicRack offer these days that alternatives don't? I remember I used it for a while but it just seemed like a lot of overhead to read books. I think I went to Perfect Viewer for a while until I got my Surface

YACReader is working on an Android app. Right now it's remote viewing only, but it's hands down the best reader and library manager on iOS. I have the iPad Pro and the Samsung S9 and I can't wait until the Android version is out because right now I'm reading all my new books only on the S9 since it has Kindle on it and I'd love to be able to access my archived books as well without having to be connected to a network. Right now I can only do that on the iPad.

I use perfect view on android and it works, I don't use any network functionality, whatever comics I read on my tablet are on the tablet so I can't help anyone there, but it seems to work well for me.

All I wanted was something like Plex for comics, where I could have my books on my main computer and "stream" to my tablet. YACreader was great looking but didn't have Android. The Cover App works PERFECTLY for my Windows tablet, but alas it's Windows only. But it's nice to have cover art and all that download automatically

It doesn't need a dedicated app, either, the browser reading experience is quite nice. Biggest problem is that it can't download for offline reading, although you could probably get that using an OPDS client.

I'm waiting for it get full library functionality before I really embrace it because I'd like to manage my archive directly on my tablet when not at home.

Alright I'm looking to read the new skybound transformers and gi Joe stuff, and I haven't touched comixology since the Amazon poo poo a couple years ago. Is it any easier to navigate Amazon for single issues? And do I use the comixology app or something else?

No, Amazon still sucks rear end for finding single issues. You still use the Comixology app. The only improvement is now you can put things in a digital basket and buy all at once instead of having to buy each individually.

A feature I'm still desperately missing from "Amazon Presents: The Comixology Experiencetm" is when it'd tell you if single issues were part of a collected book. Back in the day if I was like "hey that run looks cool" I could click on the first issue of said run and find out immediately if it was collected/how much of it was. Sucks rear end that I have to sleuth around and peck at available collections to see if it is, all with the very real possibility that it's not and I'm just wasting my time.

Amazon is sunsetting the Comixology app on December 4, and it will be merged with the Kindle app. Not unexpected, and sounds like it won't be too different, but I guess we'll see!quote:We’re writing to let you know about upcoming changes to the way that you will access and read your Comixology digital comics, graphic novels, and manga titles. On December 4, 2023, we will be merging the Comixology and Kindle applications on iOS, Android, and Fire OS. Starting today, any books previously purchased on Comixology will automatically be visible in your library on the Kindle app. The upgraded Kindle app experience is available now; however, you may continue reading your books in the Comixology app until December 4, 2023. You can read more about the upcoming changes here.

I mean, at this point they were basically identical UXs just with the prose stuff filtered out of library on one

I thought I posted about it before, but I didn't see anything and got reminded of this again elsewhere. Some dudes are trying to get a comixology replacement off the ground. Has stuff from a bunch of major indies, but Marvel and DC aren't on the service (yet?). no android app yet either but that's allegedly coming out sometime this month https://omnibus.app/

I just got my first tablet so is Omnibus the best app to read some comics on? I’m not a big comics guy so keen to just buy a few rather than any subscription sort of thing.

I live right next to one of the smaller branches of the Detroit Public Library. Like literally next door. It rules hard. They've got a ton of physical TPBs too. Getting a library card in Detroit was a whole new era of comic reading for me.
