Well.

Have you considered the applications you can use?

[Nook Color General] TheReformedPirate:
So I've read up and tried out a bunch of different comic viewers on the Nook Color, but was wondering what everyone else is using on XDA.

I'm also curious how you read your comics. Do you keep it zoomed in and scroll across and down to read the panels, or do you fit to the page and read the tiny text? Anyone have any solutions to make reading comics easier?

That's one thing I really enjoyed about my iPad....full screen comics with no small text. I would love to replicate that experience on my nook.

Thanks ahead of time, guys!
[Nook Color General] dcontrol:
Perfect viewer, full page unless its a two page layout, then its zoomed by height
[Nook Color General] TheReformedPirate:
Do you have any issues reading the text when it's full page? Maybe I'm just getting old. hahah
[Nook Color General] john10101:
i have used acv and perfect viewer. not sure which one i like more. i dont read comics that much.
[Nook Color General] Masterface7:
I typically read em full screen with no issue, 7 inches seems huge after getting used to my 4 inch phone screen. If something is double screen I just rotate my nook and continue.

I use perfect viewer, It has quick page loads, smooth transitions (if you enable them) and around 11 hotspots on the screen that can be customized to make navigation quick and easy. I used to use ACV but when i rotated to landscape the app confined the image to a frame of 600 px wide. They may have fixed it now but it is too late.

The only thing that is not ideal is that the nook screen is widescreen, better for tv shows movies and other video, and comic pages are typically fatter than that so they require black bars at the top and bottom.
[Nook Color General] Lemurion287:
I've used ACV - it works very well for me.

For other apps, I'm not fond of the Ave!Comics viewer - but Comixology works pretty well and Graphic.ly isn't bad.
[Nook Color General] minotauri:
while i dont read comics, there's two apps i have installed that work great. Comics and Vintage Comics.
[Nook Color General] quikt:
I 2nd perfect viewer app. I've had compatibility issues with acv and other comic readers reading cbr format, perfect viewer has worked best for me. the controls feel good and you can zoom in/out and fit page to screen etc.
[Nook Color General] Thirtybird:
Running Honeycomb off the SDcard and I had problems with ACV being slow and having Force-Closes.

I found Perfect viewer, and it's name is spot on! It is FAST and clear. I changed the default settings so two page layouts auto-split and I just toggle back and forth between the pages as needed. The zoned touch locations threw me off at first, but as with anything, once you learn the interface, it becomes second nature.

+1 for Perfect Viewer
[Nook Color General] subcypher:
What he said!
[Nook Color General] IndivisibleP:
I use manga watcher and am very satisfied. On a nook size screen I prefer landscape mode and just scroll down the page as I read the panels. Manga watcher does everything I need and has big free libraries that come with it. Of course you can side load comics off the SD also if you want to.
[Nook Color General] beerjs:
Perfect Viewer +1
[Nook Color General] Sithben24:
I've always used ACV, not too many problems anymore. It used to have the memory issues so I switched to Perfect Viewer, but I hate having to touch one point on the screen instead of flipping through like pages. (I dunno if this has changed.)

I would also recommend Manga Watcher, haven't tried comics on it, but for easily downloadable (free!) mangas, it's awesome.
[Nook Color General] carlosraf20:
and where do buy the comics from or where do you download them.>?
[Nook Color General] ebubar:
I love perfect viewer. Works well for me. I like the option to use the volume buttons to turn pages. The full screen view is perfectly fine for me. Text doesn't seem small to me.
[Nook Color General] hxh103:
I use ACV, but most of my cbr would crash and get error. jjcomics viewer seems to do better. The size is readable unless it is a two page, then I have to zoom in. I think jjcomics viewer you can set it to automatically cut it in half to only show one page each.

But the best thing to prevent the crashing and errors is just convert all of your files to cbz format. I use Jomic to batch convert on my mac. I don't know which program works best for PC but I know there are a lot of them

i dont know where you would legally get comics in cbr/cbz format as I doubt any comics distribution would want to sell it in this format. CBR /CBZ are essentially just rar or zip files of pictures. They probably want some kind of protection on it or have some proprietary software to view them. But I know Marvel has an app on the iphone/ipad and chrome browser that you can use to buy comics and read them. Other than that, the usual suspects for cbr/cbz- torrents, rapidshare, megaupload, etc.

I don't have this app, but as with all apps on nook color - make sure softkey is running to be able to access the back and menu buttons. If you press the softkey circle (somewhere on your screen) the soft menu button should show up on the screen. This should bring up a menu if the app has one. If you are running CM7, you might not need to run softkey as it might be integrated already in there? If you dont have it, I think it's in the app store
[Nook Color General] JohnnyDanger:
I use perfect viewer also. But one problem I have is when I finish one comic and go to open another for some reason it just keeps returning to the one I just read. Anyone have any idea why it would do that?

jj comic viewer works great for me, I zip all the pics together and it reads the zip
[Nook Color General] WitheredHand:
I use jjcomics viewer and don't have any issues.
[Nook Color General] ronjan:
"Perfect Viewer" is perfect !!

I read in Portrait mode typically and for that PV is awesome, just customize the options to suit your fingers :). Also, I do a minor tweak to my comics collection which makes it great to read on the 7-in screen:

1) Use Comics Converter (google and download ! - its open freeware)

2) Convert all your comics to 600 x 1600 (and if its 2-pages wedged into 1 image - convert to 1200 x 1600) - they become eminently readable !

3) The Comics Converter Software has some quirks - ensure that all image file extensions are in small (.jpg works and .JPG doesn't !!)

- Uncheck keep aspect ratio

- Check Force PDF Image extract

Comixolgy frequent crashes

I'm running cm7 of an sd card on my nook color.

Most apps are PRETTY stable, but I definately reboot often.

Comixology is the biggest thorn in my side.

It crashes a lot, if I re-launch without rebooting, it usually crashes again pretty quickly.

It MIGHT be a little more stable if I turn off wireless but turn on wifi. But I'd hope that something somewhere is smart enough to not to try connecting with 3g on a device that doesnt have it.

For each comic I manage to read I probably have to reboot 2-5 times.

Anyone else running into this?

Suggestions? Comixology and Kindle are the main reasons I wanted android on my nook. I really like guided view and I NEED to be able to zoom in, several comics I've gotten from B&N dont seem to allow zooming and using a magnifying glass sucks.

Thanks.
[Nook Color General] B_Moriarty:
For manga i like Mango... it isn't a reader for comics you load on yoirself but if your into manga it has many major sources and allows mass saving of full chapters to your device
[Nook Color General] ninpo:
I use "comic reader mobi" and I love it.

It solves the small text/full screen problem in a very cool way, you simply tap the text bubble and it magnifies the text, nice :)

You can also tap anywhere on the comic panel to bring up a magnifying block which you can move around the page to enlarge that portion of the page.

It also has cool page turning animations as well.
[Nook Color General] GunBalina:
I use Comixology (it has a store included), ACV and recently I tried perfect viewer. Most of the time I just read them as full page. Sometimes it is a bit small, but at least I have a sense of the page and the flow.

Some thoughts on the available comic readers that I use:

- Comixology is great, as if it's too small, you double tap on a part of it, and you can see it as a "slide show", just magnifying one part at a time.

- ACV crashes often with out of memory error. I read it in full page mode, except landscape 2 pages. Then I zoom in and out.

- So far Perfect Viewer has been quite stable and no problems. I also like all the areas of the screen to touch.

- Just installed jj comic viewer so can't comment on that one.

I also run CM7 from a uSD card, but comixology never crashed for me. I'm only using it for the free comics that they have (unitl now). I was running 7.0 RC1 and now I'm on 7.1 RC1. Also, I almost never reboot.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mattinky11:
Okay so here's my question. I've been running a variety of different roms since I rooted almost a year ago and it seems like my sd card is just full of junk from all the apps I've installed/removed as well and any number of files/folders injected when flashing. I would like to know what method I can use to reformat my sd card and wipe it clean. I guess what I'm asking is that if I boot to recovery (AmonRa) and check the options to wipe EVERYTHING, what am I left with? I'll still have the recovery along with usb mass storage capability right? If so, that would mean I could throw whatever rom onto the sdcard that way and reflash it? I'd just like to start over without any bloat at all and try to keep the card trimmed of fat. Sorry to be long winded and most likely not clear at all. Lol. Any direction would be appreciated.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mattinky11:

"Penetrate" connects you to wireless routers with default keys. Penetrate calculates WEP/WPA/WPA2 keys for some wireless routers.

The following wifi routers are supported:

Thomson,

Infinitum,

BBox,

DMax,

Orange,

SpeedTouch,

BigPond,

O2Wireless,

Otenet -Pirelli Discus -Eircom -DLink -Verizon FiOS (only some routers) -Fastweb (Pirelli & Telsey) -Jazztel_XXXX and WLAN_XXXX

Reversing Thomson routers requires a dictionary file, the app instructs you on how to set it up.

Penetrate is not a wireless cracking or hacking tool like aircrack. It does, however, give you keys which are useful for penetration testing. Use only with permission from network owners.

Have a nice day and happy cracking!
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Themes and Apps] lukejones82:
I am not entirely sure that I understand this post. Is "penetrate" an option on the Archos 101 or something that needs to be downloaded?

[Xoom General] justabrake:
When the xoom had the $207. off coupon I bit and put it in my cart and when checking out I had the free gel case and free 2nd day shipping and when I pressed complete they changed my order and charged me the $29.99 and standard shipping with which it's just coming today after ordering on the 24th if I hadn't called them last week who knows when this order would have been shipped ! well I called them and I said I would like to cancel this order and the customer service guy said I can't that it already has been shipped which it wasn't and then an hour later I get a email saying my order was shipped which it wasn't then 3 days later it shows up being in UPS hands in texas being shipped ! If you think this is the way a company should do business then their is something wrong with you ! I felt like there forcing this on me, I called my bank and told them of this the night of the first email and it wasn't charged and then I called after the charge and then said let them ship it and then do as they say RMA it back ! I could never ever buy from motorola again after this experience, This is going back, I have to wait for it to arrive >they (motorola) Says and then call then for an RMA They could of made this a little less painful and just canceled the order when I called But no they want to force this on me ! Screw them :mad:

Paragraphs. Punctuation.

You should use them.
[Xoom General] Bauxite:
Wow you're really complaining about this? It's the same when you shop everywhere, when it's sent to the warehouse for fufillment they can't go back and cancel it, you have to return it.

But in your case, you stand to profit atleast $100 by putting it on ebay after getting that coupon deal and you're still complaining. You could also get your shipping refunded through amazon if you wanted.

I do not understand people sometimes.

Basically: SCREW MOTOROLA THEY GAVE ME AN $800 DEVICE FOR $600!!! HOW WILL I EVER RECOVER FROM THIS INJUSTICE.
[Xoom General] atoy74:

There should be a temporary complaint forum to put these posts so we don't have to see them.

[Xoom General] inrelief:
What this board needs is active mods.

If mods removed the posts:

1) talking about tablets other than the xoom

2) complaining (for some insane reason) about getting the 25% off coupon

3) complaining about known limitations at release

I think this forum would be a lot more pleasant.
[Xoom General] Just-in-time:
wow dude i would be just as pissed if i got 200 bucks off for scamming the company.
[Xoom General] mormegil83:
i kinda feel the op's pain... I ordered a xoom with a 10% off coupon, then as soon as I read the 25% off one I ordered again using that coupon, and immediately called to cancel my first order. The lady said the ordering department was closed until next morning.

Called back the next morning and got the run around from like five motor cs reps one even hung up on me. When I finally got someone willing to help and not transfer me to the beggining option menu, they told me it was shipped and could not be canceled. I had to refuse shipment. Needless to say it didn't ship until the following tuesday.

So I refused the more expensive shipment and kept the 25% off one. Then I look and they charged me for the free gel case. I called moto, got the same run around as before until someone finally

was willing to help. Now I am still waiting on a refund for the gel case and the original order..

As long as it all works out i'm happy I got the discount, as there are many that paid $800 for this device, on the other hand... DOES IT HAVE TO BE THIS DIFFICULT!?
[Xoom General] funnycreature:
Of course you get charged for the free gel case! But did you realize that the price for the Xoom was much lower?!? In fact, I gained more than 25% off due to that! I don't know exactly what they did but here are my bill details:

Xoom: $571.09

Gel case: $ 21.40

Shipping: $ 0.40

Tax: $ 35.56

Total: $628.45

Now do the math: The Xoom PLUS the gel case add up to LESS than $599 which would have been the 25% off for the Xoom.
[Xoom General] mormegil83:
My total was $660... motor guy put a "high priority"ticket in for my refund. Still no money :'( but like I said as long as it works out, I camt really complain ;-)
[Xoom General] almostinsane:
You won't make any money on ebay. With 10% tax, the device was $660. Add in ebay and paypal fees and you'd be lucky to break even.
[Xoom General] Bauxite:
Really? So this one going for $790 would cause you to not break even? Amazing, I didn't know Ebay/Paypal took out 16%! The more you know.. :cool:

http://cgi.ebay.com/Verizon-Motorol...20750945884?pt=US_Tablets&hash=item3365c81e5c

Never underestimate how stupid people are on Ebay. And remember most sellers don't charge sales tax, so you could buy a Xoom on ebay for over $800 and still get it cheaper than at the store.
[Xoom General] mjpacheco:
LOL quote of the day.
[Xoom General] mormegil83:
Great deal but definitely a hassle!

And I don't know why people think it was "cheating" motorola. They offered a coupon. We used it! If you're in this forum I would expect that you know most online coupon codes have a limited number of activations. Once that limit is hit, the coupon is no longer valid. Just because we used a coupon doesn't mean a company has the right to treat their customers in this way.
[Xoom General] DroidzFX:
I'm just going to come out and say it. You guys are acting like a bunch of vaginas. I got the deal, yeah I had to wait ,yeah I got the run around but the BS is in the past. *****ing about in a forum ain't going to do nothing for you. Suck it up and drive on.

[Xoom General] GarJones27:
Why is there constant flaming? This is the kind of thing that turns good forums into bad ones. The OP has the right to talk about his experience (especially in the General XOOM section) and maybe this might make it onto a blog site and be seen by a Motorola exec and force them to do something about it. I've ordered my XOOM last week with the 10% discount and just got a call saying it didn't go through their system so it will be cancelled. This thread was useful for me to see what my next step should be. Plus it's annoying to be charged $800 just to have the order cancelled. Thanks OP for this useful thread.
[Xoom General] pwnx:
I'm pretty sure the charge was a pending charge and you weren't actually charged if it was cancelled.
[Xoom General] GarJones27:
As far as my order goes, I was actually charged. I'm sure this was the same for the other people.

They told me I couldn't do that I even asked my bank and they said do it with the RMA this way you'll have prof of return

[Xoom General] Bauxite:
You haven't been charged yet is why your bank can't deal with it. You are out $0 at this moment.

Here is what I would do. If you are really still that mad after you get it, sell it on eBay and make $150. Congrats you just got Motorola to give you a ton of money for a tiny amount of waiting. Feel free to complain more after that as well...maybe about how slow your eBay buyer is..or how hard it was to take it to the post office to ship to get your free money.
[Xoom General] Bauxite:
I also want to reiterate that Motorola forced nothing on you.

You went to the Motorola site. You put the xoom in the cart with the discount. You entered your credit card information. You decided to be impatient. You agreed to the terms of ordering from Motorola and the return policy. Just because you wanted to turn back after the order went to the warehouse for fulfillment is not Motorola's fault and they are not forcing a product that you did not order on you.

Still people continue to flame. I've been a long time member of this forum and it has seen major growth since. Poster's like you are the reason why XDA has many more rules and why some people have migrated away. Don't be that bad seed. People have the right to post what they want if it is pertaining to the topic, which in this case is General topics about the XOOM.

With that said, no one proclaimed that Motorola forced us, don't put words in people's mouths, thanks. We are just expressing our concern especially since we were told 2-day shipping and some were told they would get a free gel case. The company shouldn't advertise certain things and not follow through, this is regardless of whether the consumer gets a discount on the XOOM, a device that it costs $250 to make. Additionally, it shouldn't be much of a hassle in terms of customer service to get the ordeal figured out, people shouldn't have to make 10-12 phone calls and/or be called back because their departments are not in sync. This is all irrespective of the notion that people's orders were cancelled due to a "system failure" as the representative informed me in a voice-mail.

I hope this works out for those who have had issues. I'm trying to get a hold of the representative that called me and left me a message but with no success.
[Xoom General] Bauxite:
It's not a flame to point out that the OP is being irrational about a short delay in shipping and poor customer service. I agree that trained moneys would be better than the current Motorola staff.

The OP clearly states that Moto is forcing an order that they placed, on them. This is clearly not the case. The OP has been given clear instructions on how to return the item that they have not even yet been charged for.

Just because you need to RMA an order that can't be cancelled doesn't mean Motorola is forcing you into anything.

Also while the parts may cost $250 that doesn't mean you can walk into best buy, give them $250 and walk out, that would be stealing. You cant justify childish behavior because you dont like the price. You dont have to buy it. A lot more goes into the cost of a product than the wholesale parts price.
