For me, ComicRack (Windows) was too shaky and unstable to bother with. I had a big collection with all the metadata scraped from ComicVine. It was beautiful. Then it crashed and lost everything and I just never bothered to start over. It seems to have been abandoned by the developer and always felt like alpha-state software.
I buy my comics from ComiXology and use a Chrome plug-in to strip the DRM and create a .CBZ file.
I read them on my Lenovo Tab2 A10-70 using a variety of apps: Perfect Viewer is likely my favorite, but I'd also recommend Challenger Comics and even ComicRack (Android) (though it's something like eight bucks and isn't an improvement to me over Perfect Viewer).
I never read panel by panel. But I do sometimes use border cropping which zooms the page a little to remove the white gutter older comics have around the panels.
I've also purchased a 9.7" Windows 10 tablet. The comic reading apps on Windows aren't nearly as nice as the Android selection. The best by far is Cover. I've also tried older traditional Windows comic readers like CDisplay Ex, but they I don't like how they function with touch screens. I tried installing ComicRack on the tablet, but it just kills my cheap-o tablet with an Atom processor and 2 gigs of RAM.
Sorry this post was so long...
