Support for CBR, CBZ, PDF, and image folder formats
Reading mode with double-page view, magnifying glass, and bookmarks

Customizable UI themes and reading shortcuts

Use Cases:

Organizing and reading large digital comic book and manga archives
Streaming a personal comic collection to a smartphone or tablet

Alternatives:
