Comics on Android Tablet

ebusinesstutor · 04-15-2011, 04:01 PM

I had viewed comics on my iPhone before and Comixology seemed to work best, so I thought I would start with Comixology for Android on my new tablet.

It seems to work fine, but I can't figure out how to delete a comic I no longer want!

Is anyone using Comixology that could help?

If not, what comic app are you using that you recommend?

Try Perfect Viewer. You can rename and delete files.

DailyComix works for me. I've noticed that choosing a comics app seems largely based on which comics one is interested in (since they all seem to have limited menus of webcomics that are supported).

Special note: if you're a fan of xkcd, try "xkcd reader" (in the market) (by Srikanth Lingamneni). I usually don't like single-purpose apps but this one is worth it as it features panel by panel navigation in the correct order (which means there is probably some back-end coding involved for each comic). The end result is exquisite.

Edit: In retrospect, that's probably not the kind of comics you were talking about

. Still, I'll leave this here in case anyone's interested.

I don't think you can delete comics from Comixology on Android yet, but maybe that will come in a future release.

But it's a great app anyway, and it's got me buying and reading comics again.

Actually I did finally find out how to do delete comicx on Comixology for Android. You click on settings, then manage storage and you can delete them individually. Not very intuitive, but it works.

Good point about needing additional readers, Thrawn, based on what comics you want to read. I will try some others.

I am just getting back into comics. Loved them as a kid, but in my 20's the woman in my life found them childish, so I gave them up.

But now, new woman and she supports my hobbies.

Thanks, that's useful to know. We still can't delete them from My Comics, though, which means that free previews that weren't much cop still have to clutter up your bookshelf. Still, not a major issue, I suppose.

Yes, Graham. Definitely something Comixology should fix.
