Manga Reader is a simple and good-looking desktop application that supports the popular Comic formats like CBR, CBT, CBZ, as well as compressed files (RAR, ZIP, etc.) - the latter feature was recently added since most comics are compressed in order to save disk space.
This Comic viewer is written with the Adobe AIR framework, bringing great flash-like effects to the GUI controls and the canvas area. Each comic file you open can be easily read by literally grabbing the edge of each page and turning it over. Very close to the paper version!
Moreover, if you are used to visiting some related sites like Manga Fox and OneManga, you can use the bundled Online Manga Explorer to save time - browsing the online catalog, downloading your favorite manga files and reading them directly from within the program.
Reading comics in Manga Reader can be a very nice experience. You will find it a really cool program if you consider yourself a Manga or Comic fan. And the best of all, it will ask nothing of you: it's absolutely free.
Pros
- Very comfortable
- Page navigation is just great
Cons
- None found
it just shows the catalogue without anything to read.
I had the same issue so apparently they haven't fixed it in 9 months I'll just stick with Comic Shelf... 5 years of use and its still the most reliable one I've found.
