Comic books and manga are amusingly amount the least digitizable mediums as you have the choice of good resolution but an unpleasant reading experience with lit screens on a desktop, laptop, tablet or phone and low res or lack of spreads on an e reader. Even more so when you're missing out on colour.

I read a lot of manga and comic since my childhood but never even once in my life I have able to enjoy manga on tablet/mobile as much as I enjoy them as physical volume. But looking forward to use Kindle Comic Converter
