Here are some formatting issues I've observed in some Kindle Store manga:
|
||||
|
||||
1) Incorrect black levels:
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
This is comparing the Kindle Store version of
|
||||
Fire Force Vol. 1 on a Kindle Scribe
|
||||
against the Humble Bundle version on a Hisense A9.
|
||||
Both devices are using Eink Carta 1200 panels.
|
||||
|
||||
The Kindle Scribe is completely capable of showing correct black levels,
|
||||
demonstrated here with the Humble Bundle version:
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
Incorrect black levels causes manga to look faded and washed out, and is a lot harder to see and can cause eyestrain.
|
||||
The effect is even more pronounced on eink vs LCD since it's already lower contrast.
|
||||
|
||||
2) Unneccesary margins, usually at the bottom
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
Manga should be fullscreen, since most Kindles are much smaller than physical paper volumes.
|
||||
I've even seen cases where margins are added on all 4 sides, not just the bottom.
|
||||
|
||||
3) Incorrect page turn direction for right to left manga.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
4) 2 page spread alignment off by 1
|
||||
|
||||
Sometimes there's a single page misaligned in landscape:
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
which throws off the alignment off all further pages:
