If you have trouble turning the pages increase the tap boundary in settings! Other wise so pleased to find an open source comic/zine reader that doesn't snoop or use adverts. Also had the best native page fit to screen of all the readers. Particularly good if you like to read old comic and magazine scans! Unfortunately there are a few bugs re finding SD cards and some clunky navigating re page flips. Would like page turning via volume button also enabled. Otherwise thanks!

Open Comic Reader is legit, I use it to read many comics. I don't know what the low star reviwers are using, but I tried a few and this is the one I stuck with. Not having ads is most important. Great app.

Simple (as in spartan) is better in this case, even compared to the CDisplayEx. Protip: increase your paddings to at least 30px and tap boundary size to max (200), then set library filter to "sort by series" on launch.
