So does anyone know if the Google books app reads cbr/z files that aren't purchased through their store? Kinda want to give that bubble zoom thing a try.

I don't think Google sells CBR/Z files (I would assume the comics they sell are PDF or a proprietary format), but in any case, no, the Google Play Books app does not read user-added ones.

Bummer. Oh well, thanks.

Are there any good comic streaming Android apps? I've asked this in the thread before but haven't yet found a real easy method. Essentially I'm looking for a server/client something like Plex Media server. Have my comics in CBZ/CBR/PDF stored on my computer and have an app that I can "stream" to my tablet and have it track what I've read and what's new.

I currently use Perfect Viewer and can open comics from a network share, but I have to remember where I left off.

This isn't gonna be extremely helpful but ComicRack i believe has that form of synching. I haven't actually used it myself (the synching i mean, it's my main comic app), so you may wanna look at the website to check. I know it has some sort of connection to the desktop app but I'm not 100% on it syncing last page read and stuff like that.

I'm sure it varies by series but generally a chapter is from what I've seen the size of a western floppy in page length if not a little more

So 100 is still a lot

Musta missed that post before but waifu2x and its derivatives are made for that purpose (correctly upscaling art), and have been used to upscale games sprites as well. Doom modders have been using it and also a nvidia neural net i don't know the name of to upscale all the sprites and textures and some are moving into other games

Heres the thread for the doom upscale project so you can take a look, it actually does do a pretty dang good job of basically creating information out of the barest minimum imo

i really tried to get into pax romana and the nightly news but just couldnt

the nightly news especially does not seem to be suited to reading digitally because all the various text boxes are tiny but that also seems like something that would be exacerbated when reading on smaller print pages, so i dunno how hickman got away with it back in the day

No problem, I was really happy to come across it, even at this early stage it's what I was looking for in ubooquity right out of the gate.

yeah from the looks of things this is like a brand new app. hopefully they eventually get around to making a general interface for it so i can do things like checks notes quit the program lol
