so I have just seen amazon's guided view reading method on a fire tablet which is impressive.

but I am used to working outside of amazon's restrictions e.g. I convert all my purchased books to epub, store them in calibre, move them with calibre companion, read in moon+..

what are my options then , to collect & read "guided view" comics on a pure android tablet:
. where to buy ( outside of amazon)- in a way that I can still use calibre etc.
. what to convert TO - if needed - or should I stick with buy from amazon and just use the Kindle for android app
. what android reader to buy ( must be ad free)- assuming moon+ is not optimised for comics

is "guided view" an industry standard or are there various proprietary versions. is it something "built in" to the book file or something that the reader app figures out how to do?

probably other questions to follow but those will help get me started

I am only interested in western comics, in English - if that's relevant - not anime, manga.... and I am UK based for purchases.
