A Kindle can be an ideal tool for reading your comics. In fact, in the Amazon store you have a huge variety to choose from. However, if you have a digital collection of comics lying around that you want to read, we explain the possibilities you have to pass them on to your reader, how to convert those comics to a format that the Amazon device can understand, and, in general, how to read comics. on your Kindle . As you can see, for some time, things have changed, some methods that you see out there have become obsolete and it has become a little more difficult to read comics that you do not buy directly from the store. Don’t worry, we’ve got your back and we’ll give you the solution.
I will not deny that one of my best purchases has been a Kindle. Battery for weeks, light, with the ability to have a library inside it… And, over time, what started as an e-book reader, has also become an interesting comic book reader .
Therefore, if you want to read your favorite graphic novels on your Kindle, we will tell you how to do it step by step.
How is the experience of reading comics on the Kindle
Without a doubt, the easiest way is to buy them in the Amazon store, as you do with any other electronic book. For a while now, Kindle has been able to read comics panel by panel, in a guided and cinematic way , as they sometimes call it.
That makes for a more immersive reading experience, as the comic’s author intended, and makes up for, at least in part, the fact that you’ll have to read it in black and white .
That there are already color electronic ink readers, but, for now, the Kindle line does not have any and we will have to settle for seeing them as on an old TV.
Of course, many well-adapted comics have grayscales that make the experience quite decent . In the same way, panel-by-panel reading means you don’t have to be with the entire page on the screen, enlarging because the dialogs and vignettes are small. Without it, reading comics on the Kindle becomes a horrifying epic.
However, in order to have that reading experience, the comic must be in a special format . Usually, we find comics for digital readers and reading apps in .cbz, .cbr or pdz formats, but your Kindle does not understand them and you will have to transfer them to .mobi first
What can we do for that?
