Here are some formatting issues I've observed in some Kindle Store manga:
|
|
|
|
1) faded black levels causing unneccessarily low contrast, which is hard to see and can cause eyestrain.
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
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. The spine should have whitespace in the center, not on the edge.:
