Description

ComicBookPad displays comic book pages quickly and lets you flip right through while listening to music all at the same time. That’s right. It IS possible.



Why ComicBookPad
============
(or, how small details can make a BIG difference)

- ComicBookPad provides a smooth viewing experience: no choppy images, no sluggishness, no lags
- It lets you view your comic book while playing music on iTunes
- ComicBookPad's intuitive interface and kick-a*s design make reading a comic book on your iPad an absolute pleasure... just like it should be.

Main Features
=========

- Exceptional response time: no freezes, no waiting, no lags
- Page slider lets you skip to a specific page
- Bookmarking
- Grouping comic books into Stacks
- Option to remember last viewed comic
- Music playback from your iTune Library
- Fast USB file transfer
- Supports all major comic book formats (CBR, CBZ, RAR, ZIP)

Uploading comic books into ComicBookPad
===========================

- Connect your iPad to a Mac
- Start iTunes
- Select your iPad device. It should be listed in the left iTunes panel
- Select the “Apps” tab
- Scroll down to “Applications that support doc sharing”
- Select ComicBookPad
- Click on the “Add” button and select your CBR/CBZ files.
- Wait for the sync process to get completed.
- Launch ComicBookPad on your iPad
- Select “Transfers” from the top menu
- Tap on a single book or the “Import All” button to import into “My Library”



Controls
======
(not that you wouldn't be able to figure it out)

- Tap to show or hide menus
- Double-tap to zoom in or out
- Pinch to manually zoom in or out
- Swipe to go to the next or previous page
- Tap at the corner of the page to go to the next or previous page
- Pet gently to show it your love

Seemingly Boring but Otherwise VERY Important Remarks
===================================

- Make sure the file names within each comic book archive are numbered in ascending order (Example1.jpg, Example2.jpg). They usually come that way, but hey, you never know.
- ComicBookPad has been created for the sole purpose of viewing legally obtained material. Don't be a butthead, respect other people's work.
- No actual comic books are included in the purchase of the app. Sad, we know, but true.
