I haven't read Manga for years, but I used to enjoy reading things like Record of Lodoss War, Ranma 1/2, Tenchi Muyo!, Fushigi Yugi (sp?), Cowboy Bebop and You're Under Arrest. Also some scifi/fantasy type titles I can't remember.

I'm interested in the idea of digital manga. Is it sold in formats like CBR/CBZ, ePub, etc.? Stuff I can use on various devices and not worry about the need for a specific store app? I looked at Viz's site and it looks like digital manga from them has to be used in their proprietary app. I tried searching Kobo, but the selection didn't look like much and most of it didn't look like something that would interest me.

I guess I'm looking for both a little guidance and maybe some title recommendations.
