Side tangent: I’m the developer of Kindle Comic Converter. Kindle updates 5.19.2+ have completely broken the sideloaded manga reader with bugs like huge margins, pages being on the wrong side in 2 page landscape mode, no panel view, no % read tracker, and laggy page turns. I’ve documented the problems here and the first report was 50 days ago. https://youtu.be/Eo6K7omlE7g

And I haven’t even touched all the problems with normal sideloaded books like broken embedded/publisher fonts.

Thank you!!

I bought a new Kindle because of this amazing tool. Unfortunately, I can only use the device after deregistration. Have to dismiss sign-in/login every time. Hopefully I can survive long enough a new jailbreak comes in.

Thank you for making such a great tool. KCC got me back into reading manga and there are so many that are so great.

For anyone looking for recommendations, I really enjoyed Pluto, Yokohama Shopping Log, and Young Ladies Don't Play Fighting Games.
