There are many free comic book readers available for your computer and tablet. So if you have the time, it makes sense to read your comic books on your device instead. ..
How do you make your comic books device-ready? That’s what we will be discussing today. ..
Getting The
Pages In The Right Image Format
Comic books can be a bit tedious to scan, but once you get into a rhythm, it will be done before you know it.
To scan a document: -Open the document in your scanner -Select the “Scan” option from the menu bar -Select the resolution you want to use (usually 300 dpi is good) -Click “Start Scanning” ..
When scanning a page, crop the edges to remove any unwanted areas and generally clean it up. I would not recommend resizing the image. Leave it at its full size for easier reading. ..
When you have your pages scanned, rename the images in the comic book. So 01.jpg, 02.jpg, and so on. This ensures they are all in the correct order.
Turning Your Pages Into The Right File
Format For The Reading App
To make the Comic Book Reader, you will need:
- A CBR or CBZ file format
- A scanner
- The right pages to scan
CBZ is a zip file that contains images and comic book pages in order. The reader loads the pages in the order you gave them to each page.
There are various zipping tools available on the market. Paid tools include Winzip and WinRAR. A good free tool for Windows is 7-Zip. But for both Windows and macOS, there is a zipping function built right into the operating system.
The folder named “Comic Book” on your computer will be compressed when you right-click on it and choose “Compress.”
To send a file or folder to a compressed (zipped) folder on your computer, right-click on the file or folder and choose Send to–>Compressed (zipped) folder. ..
Your comic book scans will now be generated. You can delete the folder with the original comic book scans if you want.
Now change the file format from zip to either CBR or CBZ. It honestly doesn’t matter which one you use. I have always done CBR but that’s only because I like the sound of it. Yeah I know, I’m weird that way.

Readers
The Google Reader reader is the most popular reader on the internet. It has a user-friendly interface and is easy to navigate. It also offers a variety of features, such as reading news, books, and articles online.
In all cases, the CBR or CBZ file you have just created will be automatically loaded into the app. If you are using a tablet app, it will most likely direct you to your cloud storage account where you should have your comic files ready to be uploaded.
