Mangle - a better manga reader for the kindle

Oct 20, 2010 22:42

This blog has moved As a slight break from KIF, I decided to fix another annoyance with my kindle: the built in manga reader.

Note: Mangle 0.2 is now available.

I was really quite impressed that it natively supported CBZ files (thanks to whoever on the dev team sneaked that in! ;)
However, it does seem a bit buggy:

It frequently forgets to refresh ( Read more... )

I'm looking forward for home to test it.

So what we can expect next? bookreader.azw2 (for sorted books) ? or flashSWF.azw2 (for swf games - like chess or sudoku? ).

that would be just a superb, fantastic, wonderfull... etc

Ta :)

I was tempted to see how easy an epub reader would be, but I reckon I should finish off the first two properly first!

Hi Andrew,

It seems to be a nice job what you are doing to improve the experience of reading manga in Kindle. Good Job! I think Kindle could become a great tool for learning Japanese.

I would suggest that you try and contact the people behind the rikaichan addon for Firefox. It would be wonderful if one could pop-up a English translation for a Japanese the way rikaichan does.

I definitely would do it myself were I a programmer.

You can find rikaichan at:

Thank you,

Cleber

That IS a good idea actually, but unfortunately there's no official API for modifying the core Kindle apps; all I can do is add new apps that are entirely self contained.

I do hope amazon enhance the platform allow this sort of thing though!

Have a look in the downloads area on the google code project - there's a newer release of the devkeys. Updated link too

This looks like a really good app, I was just wondering if development was dead or if it's still on-going?

I've not really had the urge to do anything to it recently; too busy redecorating.
