Best Android apps for personal comics...format CBR CBZ ecc.
thanks......
p.s. galaxy tab 10.1 is a perfect reader...
I use perfect viewer. works really well with cbr and cbz. fully customisable touch screen functions and a full bookshelf view of your comics.
I use ACV(Droid Comic Viewer) by Robot Comics. It's a lot more simplistic than other viewers, but works perfectly for me.

Same here.
You want the best FREE comics app or the best PAID?
If you don't mind coughing up some dough, Comic Reader Mobi is awesome. The interface is a bit quirky but it has a really nice page flip effect and loads comics fast without any issues these days.
If you're cheapstake, try Comica Lite. It has a pretty nice interface too and loads comics fairly quickly, but page transitions don't look as nice as Comic Reader Mobi and pages don't seem to load quite as fast.
jjComics Viewer is also a quite nice free viewer too. Less polished than Comica Lite imo though.
I have all 3 on my Galaxy Tab.
Comixology in the market is good for viewing comics. Although it doesn't allow you to read your own comics, it does have a big selection of FREE comics
I've tried ACV, Comica Lite, Comixology and jjComics. I recommend Perfect Viewer over all of them - I deleted the rest.
Comic Reader Mobi looks good too, I will check it out when I get an Android tablet.
Have extensively tested all the comic readers, but my preference goes to the one that really stands out for style, speed and control has to be comica, not the free version as you get annoying ads coming up at the bottom, but for the price cheaper then pint of Ruddles Best bitter you cant go wrong...
For a phone Mobi is da best.The zoom lens makes reading on phones quite an enjoyable experience(regardless of the SGS2's amazing screen), though it has a small problem focusing on dark bubbles, works,but just zooms the whole square.On a tablet however I think any reader will do, as the bubble zoomer(or whatever it's called) is not necessary.
Even though I have a couple shelves full of books(my wife's...) I just started reading em now that I can get em on my phone.Sandman series is highly recommended.
In the Samsung guide to the Note 8 there is mention of an ebook reading software that allows users to annotate text using the s pen, make coloured highlights of text, etc. I don't seem to have this on my Note 8. I'm looking to be able to add handwritten notes with the s pen, not text entry annotation as in Play Books, Kindle, etc.
Any suggestions?
I have the UK Wi-Fi only Note 8.

This feature is exclusive to the "Readers Hub" App that should be installed stock on your note 8.0

OK, thanks for that.
Strange though, I don't have that app, and when I download it from the Samsung Apps store, it doesn't have that functionality. Anyone have an .apk they can share?
You can do that with... ezpdf

well that is strange, as tapping on the screen (when a book is loaded) shows a top menu with a pen icon on left clicking that brings you into pen edit /mode.
You can also try downloading readers hub guide (free) from samsung store in the readers hub and it details almost everything.

The answer was that Readers Hub works in this spen-friendly way if you are opening an Epub format book (and maybe others, not tested) but not a PDF. So EzPDF is the annotation solution for PDFs, Readers Hub for Epub.
Thanks all.

ahh Nice, Didn't knew you were trying to do a pdf. adobe's reader also allows freehand annotations to some degree I think but might be lacking in some departments.
e-book reader with SPen Support Note 2/3
I am in a similar dilemma. This is what I am expecting:
A single e-book reader like moon+ or fabrik that can read both epub and mobi files.
Reader that connects to that specific folder on my Dropbox account which has all of my book collection saved in it.
Automatically scans that Dropbox folder for all the e-books and display them neatly in a shelf of 4 to 5 thumbnails per row just as it would display books that are saved on my phone's internal memory.
Gives me an option to cherry pick a book from my bookshelf. Once selected it should then download it to my device for offline reading and sync all changes to that particular e-book file only once my device is back online (similar to Repligo PDF reader).
Since I am addicted to my SPen, I want to have a similar experience when reading an e-book like I do when reading a paper book. So I would like to be in a position wherein I can not only highlight the text but scribble my own hand written notes as I read along. I then want these notes to be permanently saved on the e-book file being read (similar to Repligo PDF reader). This was possible on Samsung's reader hub app but since that has been integrated with Samsung hub, ability to upload or read your own book saved on the device has been taken away. You can only read what you buy from their store unfortunately. Although, cloud sync was not possible with Reader's Hub too.
Is there a product in the market that meets my above expectations?

Check Mantano reader (I use premium version, though may not be exactly what you looking for)

Thanks. Mantano's UX is not really good. This app further boxes up the note taking screen thus further reducing the screen real estate. Would you know if any other e-book reader. For now I am using Mantano too and moon+ for mobi e-books.
I'm a big comic book fan who got into comicbooks with my ipad but just found the whole size of the ipad to be a bit too big for my reading them on the subway or at home, it's one reason why i got the Kindle HDX 8.9. I've had this thing for about a week and i've sideloaded a few readers and gotten some readers from the Amazon App store, here's a brief overview of what i've experience for each:
By far my favorite .cbr/.cbz reader of the bunch is Comic Cat. It's very similar to an app i raved about to people on the ipad called comiczeal. The only thing is it has no way to download public domain comics like comiczeal did, BUT FEAR NOT TRUE BELIEVER! You can easily just download them from places like archive.org and Comic Cat will automatically (magically?) scan the entire SD disk in the OS for .cbr/.cbz/.pdf/etc content to read from. If you're like me and have a TON of your own personal scans, then this is the app for you. 2.99 on app store.
Close second is Comic Rack because you can organize folders of collections very easily, however, the UI isn't nearly as smooth. It's also something you have to sideload (i sideloaded mine via apk downloader via chrome on my laptop). Comes in pro ($7.49) and free varieties. I only used pro, so i have no idea if free has ads in it or not. Probably does. One AWERSOME feature is that you can load up your dropbox with stuff and sync it to the app. I have a 10 GB drop box, so being able to go to a coffee shop and just load up a favorite issue of something is fantastic. However, the sync is very finicky at times.
X-Comics/comiXology/Comics - Decent reader and if you're interested in purchasing comics and not using your own scans, this is the way to go. Runs far better than amazon's ebook formats through the official store. You can get some free sample comics and free issues all over the place with it (i believe the first issue or walking dead is even available for free there). Has a great panel-by-panel feature that can help out with pacing and mood if you're just getting into comics. Free, but paid comics and subs.
ACV (aka A Comic Viewer). Barebones to a T. You got a list of comics you have on your device, and you can click on them to read them. Almost no transitions, very simple barebones .cbr/.cbz reader. FREE
If japanese comics are more your thing, manga searcher works, but be warned a good portion of the content through the app are fan translations and thus not technically legal, but in a grey area. Downloads them in .zip format, but displays them just fine. On the 8.9 HDX they appear flawless. 7 inch tablets look just like holding a manga in your hand. The app is free, and all the manga through it is free, but be warned these are fan translations!
If you have any others feel free to share them and discuss them. If you found something akin to comic zeal on the ipad, LET ME KNOW! I miss the ease of the app, but don't miss transferring files to the thing.
I use perfect viewer, it also does PDFs and SAMBA shares, so you don't even need to copy a file onto the device to read it.
ugh. none of them do a good dropbox sync, comic cat does but it syncs the WHOLE folder. it's constantly trying to sync my 40 gigs of comics.
i only want to read them one by one.
luckily i have an ipad and chunky reader lets me download one by one.

Though I only had this tablet for 3 days do to me really disliking it, here is the list of the apps that I use and like.
Lancher; Smart Launcher Pro
Browser; Maxthon, Google Chrome
FileManager; ES File Explorer (this is a must have program, you can access all of your cloud, network, local, FTP and SD Card storage in one place, just awesome)
CloudStorage; your tablet comes with 50GB of DropBox but I would defiantly also use the 15GB of free Google Drive and OneDrive from Microsoft. The latter is fantastic)
News; FlipBoard(a must have), Google Newsstand, Appy Geek, CNN Tablet, News 360 Tablet
Video; VLC and the built in video player is all you'll ever need
Music; I use Spotify, love it but others like Pandora are also good
Torrent; Vuze, Utorrent Pro
Shopping; Amazon, eBay, Best Buy(even if you don't buy from them it's still a good app to see what the prices for things are and if especially if a certain new product is even being offered yet)
Social Media; Pinterest(this is a fantastic app and like Flipboard is a must have) and of course the usual suspects like Facebook and Twitter if you use those services, I prefer Google+
Information; Google Search, Wikipedia Tablet, Wikitionary
EBook; Aldiko Premium, Google PlayBook (I use this app the most because I can store all of my eBook on Google Drive and this app can sync with them easily)
Torrents; Vuze (this is a very nice app), uTorrent Pro
Office; QuickOffice, Kingsoft Office (very nice interface but again I use QuickOffice for the same reason I use PlayBook, it's a Google Service and I can sync my docs with ease)
Music; I'm done buying music, I use Spotify and it fits my needs wonderfully
Notes; OneNote, EverNote and SpringPad all fantastic and worth an install, I use OneNote the most because I have a Nokia 1020 phone and a Nokia 2520 for work, I scan all of my documents using Office Lens then sync with OneNote.
Chat & Video Conferencing; Viber (use this the most), Skype, Facebook Messenger and of course Google Hangouts
Photo Editing; Pixlr Express, Photo Editor (this is a fantastic program but it ran like molasses on mm Tab 3, there has been update that supposedly fixes some performance issues with the Intel but don't hold your breath, Fotor (also a great program for your phone), anything by Aviary is also good.
Wallpapers; Premium Wallpapers HD (the best wallpaper program for tablets as every wallpaper scales to portrait and landscape perfectly though the quality of some of the Photos could be better, on the crappy 1280 x 800 rez all should be fine, I was commenting about when using an ultra high rez like with the Nexus 10
Miscellaneous; 500PX, IMDB, Flikr, Photobucket
Well that's it for me, it would be a good idea to search for Android Tablet Apps in Pinterest, that's where I find a lot of great stuff to install.
