Comic books are a great way to enjoy a story without having to leave your living room. You can read them on your computer, using any device that has an internet connection. There are a few things you need in order to read comic books online:
- A comic book reader such as the Kindle, Nook, or iPad.
- An internet connection and an appropriate device for reading comics (such as a computer or phone).
- A comic book subscription service such as Comixology or Fandango.
- Comic books in PDF or Kindle format (.pdf, .mobi, .epub).
Using CDisplay
One of the most well known comic book readers is CDisplay, which has a simple interface with several options to allow the best viewing… just browse to the comic you want by going to File Load file.
CDisplay does a great job of displaying comics with settings such as a black background to make it easy on your eyes.
Go to Options Configure or just hit “C” to go in and change viewing features. Keyboard Ninja’s will appreciate the many hotkey combinations.

Using ComicRack
Another great choice is ComicRack which actually has more viewing features than CDisplay. While reading a comic you can easily change setting by right clicking on a page to pull up the menus.
Switching pages is easy with a pop up menu that scrolls to different pages in the comic.
You can go in and change the page order of the comic under Preferences.
You can keep up with the latest builds and other ComicRack news.
ComicRack also includes programmable hotkeys as well.
These are just some of the features of ComicRack. Other features include creating reading lists, using ComicRack as a PDF viewer, information overlays, color adjustment, and other options to manage a comic library.
