![]() I had to add comics, which created a collection, then create a new collection and move those comics in the default collection over to the new one. Moving comics into a collection didn’t make sense at all. It at least had some organization unlike Booklover, but it was poorly done. IComics was decent at reading, but the organization was poorly done here too. I probably could have got it working, but I was frustrated by how much work I was putting into it at this point. It’s supposed to be able to sync with ComicVine, but it was not working for me. The server didn’t automate tagging or metadata as I had hoped, but was a library host that I could connect the app to. I was hoping for Calibre levels of control, so my own expectations are probably at fault here. Overall it wasn’t bad, but pretty underwhelming. I tried the YACServer as well hoping it would help smooth out metadata management, but it really didn’t do as much as I had hoped. It was fine, but I was being picky and it didn’t delight me in the way Booklover or my ultimate pick did. ![]() YAC just plain bugged me, it looked like a poorly made react native application built off their electron desktop app and it didn’t sit well with me. Overall it has probably the best reader of any that I tried, but it is lacking in the organization department. It has no ability to make a library and keeps every volume or entry in a broad list. Ultimately, I found myself frustrated with how it handles the library and multiple devices. The greyscale and contrast options were excellent. It has by far the most options for tweaking the reading experience. I went with Booklover first and was initially impressed. YACReader more than holds up its end the rest is up to you.I know I’m digging up an old threat here, but I feel the need to comment on this after having spent the last couple days trying out nearly every app suggested here. Too many comic book readers? Isn't that like saying, "Too many comic books?" The problem isn't the comics or the readers it's finding enough time to read them all. The magnifier tool worked just fine, smoothly magnifying a rectangular area that we could drag anywhere with the cursor and toggle on and off at the toolbar. We could save and bookmark pages, jump to pages, and more. We especially like the two-page mode, which displays two open pages side by side, just like a paper edition. And why not? YACReader's the best comic reader we've tried, with crisp page transitions, zooming, rotation, and other effects, not to mention an excellent presentation of the material, even scanned images of ancient comics. You can have multiple instances of YACReader open at the same time, which is very handy for comparing editions and artwork, reading serial stories, and spazzing out in general. The toolbar also offers icons for rotating, zooming, and fitting images, saving files, and other controls. The program displays an extensive list of keyboard shortcuts as well as options for configuring transition effects, setting the archive folder, and other settings on the toolbar. You can download all kinds of free e-comics online and open them automatically from your browser in YACReader. To open a saved comic archive, we just pressed O for open, and YACReader opened in our designated archive. It handles the usual CBR and CBZ files, but it also offers smooth transitions and an up-to-date interface. Since we believe that you can't have too many comic book readers, we choose not to acknowledge the implication: YACReader can more than hold its own against the competition, some of which is getting long in the tooth. Like Kindle and other readers, comic book readers let users enjoy their electronic comic books in a familiar, easy-to-use format that replicates the experience of reading actual comics, but with zoom, rotation, and other effects. Comic book readers are e-book readers for comic book archive files. It's a free cross-platform, Qt4-based comic book reader. YACReader stands for Yet Another Comic Reader.
