**Kindle Comic Converter** optimizes comics and manga for eink readers like Kindle, Kobo, ReMarkable, and more.
Pages display in fullscreen without margins, with proper fixed layout support.
**Kindle Comic Converter** optimizes black & white comics and manga for E-ink ereaders
like Kindle, Kobo, ReMarkable, and more.
Pages display in fullscreen without margins,
with proper fixed layout epub output support.
Supported input formats include JPG/PNG/GIF/JP2/WEBP image files in folders, archives, or PDFs.
Supported output formats include MOBI/AZW3, EPUB, KEPUB, and CBZ.
Its main feature is various optional image processing steps to look good on eink screens,
which have different requirements than normal LCD screens.
It also does filesize optimization by downscaling to your specific device's screen resolution,
which can improve performance on underpowered ereaders.
Supported input formats include folders and archives of JPG/PNG files and more.
Supported output formats include virtual panel view MOBI/AZW3, EPUB, KEPUB, and CBZ.
Combining that with downscaling to your specific device's screen resolution
can result in filesize reductions of hundreds of MB per volume with no visible quality loss on eink.
This can also improve battery life and page turn speed on underpowered ereaders with small storage capacities.
KCC avoids many common formatting issues (some of which occur even on the Kindle Store), such as:
1) incorrect black levels, which can make manga look very faded and hard to see on eink, which is already lower contrast than LCD.
2) unneccessary margins at the bottom of the screen due to screen resolution assumptions or reading progress bars
3) incorrect page turn direction for manga that's read right to left
4) unaligned two page spreads in landscape, where pages are shifted over by 1
