Hi there and welcome to mobileread

I don't read Manga (so not much help) but just wanted you to know you're not being ignored. Hopefully someone will provide some help soon for you.

Oh okay thank you very much.

Use Mangle to convert your images into Kindle-optimized images. Canti is also recommended, though I haven't had success with it.

i've found 'mangle' to be excellent.....had no problems with it so far

I just put the jpg images into a folder inside the pictures folder on the Kindle and they opened reasonably well with a few comics I tried. The only downside was that they weren't displayed full screen properly and were fairly dark. These were older comics with traditional white background and black images/text. Based on this, I didn't bother trying any newer comics, but I will now thanks to this thread.

I've not heard of mangle or canti, so thanks for the pointers.

Thanks for the great responses so far I am trying mangle as we speak I'll let you know how it worked out for me.

Well I made a image folder on my kindle and I used mangle and dragged and drop the folder with the images in that folder and now after I unplugged usb I can't find that folder or the manga on my kindle.

your image folder is named "pictures", right? have mangle to export the manga folder and images to the "pictures" folder. Usually the manga folder will appear on your screen, if not, press Alt + Z, the folder will show up. Here are the commands:

q = zoom in
w = zoom out
e = reset zoom
c = actual size
f = full-screen
r = rotate
nav controller = pan
page forward and back = cycle through images
