I know not many people read mangas(japanese comics) but if you do, you should use Manga Blitz App .

It has material design and looks very good and it is surprisingly fast.

You can also get it on Amazon app store, but if you have few coins left then I suggest that you should buy its pro key which will remove the ads.

There's a pretty neat app available for the Fire for reading comics. It pans from frame to frame, rather than trying to show a whole page at a time (though you can do that too if you want). I think it works really well.

u/gmr2048 · 4 pointsr/kindlefire

I have a 2012 Kindle Fire. The Comixology app is available in the Amazon market. I've used that to buy/download/read a number of comics on the Fire. I'm not a huge comics guy, so I don't know how up-to-date Comixology is (i.e., do they offer new releases weekly like comic stores do?) You can probably browse comixology.com and get a feel for what they offer when. Additionally, any comics you can buy via Amazon should work natively in the Fire. I have a few I've bought from there (again, older issues).

I also have a few comics in PDF format that I've transferred to the Fire. There's a $3 app called ComiCat that can read PDFs, as well as the other CBR, CBZ, etc. formats. So if you get your digital comics from somewhere else, you should be able to transfer them to the Fire and read them via this app.

Hope that helps some.

Edit: Just noticed you said "free comics and manga". If you get your free books from elsewhere and they're in standard formats (PDF, CBR, CBZ) then you should be able to download them to your computer, then transfer them to the Fire and read them with the app I mentioned above. If you're talking about finding pirated copies of books, I have no idea. Sorry.

I'd like to give you some alternate advice on the Kindle Fire. Unless you plan on rooting it to have default android, the Comixology app is your best bet for getting comics on it.

Don't know if it is the best but 'Perfect Viewer' work for both file types.

I Found this http://thepiratebay.se/search/batman%20long%20halloween/0/99/0
there are three different torrents here, but they are probably .cbr format. I would just download a .cbr reader for your fire. I use comicat on mine www.amazon.com/Meanlabs-Software-ComiCat/dp/B004UBB1HQ it works pretty well.

u/lord_dumbello · 2 pointsr/kindlefire

I completely understand where you are coming from. Here are my three points:

  1. Have you tried an alternate ebook reader? I personally love Aldiko Book Reader and think it is much better than the stock Kindle reader. In particular it has the ability to browser books by author, title, keywords, publication date, etc. All that makes it much easier to find the book I'm looking for.

  2. PDFs are actually pretty easy to modify/work with. Have you checked out calibrewhich is hands down the best ebook organizer/library software for PC. In addition to doing a million other things I believe it will let you change the "cover picture" of your eBooks.

  3. I think the Kindle uses the first page the PDF as a cover photo and so even if you don't want to mess with calibre (which I highly recommend) you should be able to add/replace the first page of PDFs using Adobe Acrobat or there are free alternatives as well.

    Hope that helps!

As o0oo0o_ said, the easiest way to access links should be by using Amazon's cloud reader ; also you can install the Kindle reader App (which are free) to your computer or mobile device.

I have the Kindle Fire HDX 8.9, so I can't speak to the size of the 7". That said I use ComiCat for my cbr files (and my Pathfinder PDFs too :)). It's a great interface for reading comics.

u/grassmunk · 2 pointsr/kindle

I use it and it's seriously the best app for reading CBRs on a tabled ever.

u/NomNomNominal · 2 pointsr/kindlefire

If you haven't rooted/installed Android Market, here is a reader from the Amazon Market that I have used successfully on the Fire: ComiCat. While I have rooted mine and installed the Android Market stuff, this app worked before I did all that.

Also works in Canada (but not the UK).

u/BloodyRedBarbara · 1 pointr/humblebundles

Yeah you should be able to find it there. If not here's a link for it on Amazon. Unfortunately it isn't a free app but it's the best one you can find for viewing CBZ comic files in my opinion.

u/Eaeelil · 1 pointr/kindlefire

ComiXology is what i have on my kindle, you can buy some main stream comics off of it. Was reading Invincible for a long time on my iphone, and i love reading it on my kindle. Don't have to zoom in and read panel by panel anymore.

u/Latrinalia · 1 pointr/comicbooks

I think you're thinking of Perfect Viewer. (There's a free version on the Google Play store)

I love my kindle! I use the Overdrive app to read epubs. I highly recommend getting a kindle!

Check out Analyze This - Chess and Chess Book Study by Asim Pereira. There are free and paid versions of each app. I'm pretty sure they will do what you need. I thought for the life of me I had the paid flavor of Chess Book Study on my Android tablet, but damn if I can find it. :/

Analyze This Chess Free at Amazon

Analyze This Chess Pro at Amazon - $4.99

Chess Book Study Free at Amazon

Chess Book Study Pro at Amazon - $4.99

Note that for some licensing reasons (GPL related, no doubt), you'll also need the ebookdroid app (free).

Apps are also in the Google Gay™ Store, just search for the programmer's name.
