How to Read Manga On Your Kindle

This instructable will show you how to read your manga on your kindle!!!!

(This can also be done with comics)

What you need:

1) a program for kindle by Kovid Goyal
• Calibre   (it's free and you can download it here)

2) Manga files ( preferably in JPEG, PNG, or JPG)
• it doesn't matter whether they're  compressed or not

3) WinRAR, 7zip, or any other tool similar to these

4) a kindle (of course) with its usb cable

Step 1: Making The Files Compatible For Calibre

Calibre is a program that can convert, import, or export books or files for your kindle. 
A regular folder full of picture is not considered to be a file that can be converted.

1) If you have a .RAR file, Extract the files. (If it is not compressed, skip to the next step)
• Right click, select your decompresser ( I use 7zip), then extract here

2) Open up your folder that is NOT compressed and highlight all the contents or just press Ctrl A
(should only be picture files)

3) Right click the highlighted files and select "send to", and then "Compressed (zipped) folder"

Now Calibre will consider it to be a readable file!

I am trying to download a manga collection from PirateBay, but the way it is named makes it hard to have all files in one folder without taking time to rename them so they go in order. Does it still work with folders? Ex: If I compressed folders a, b, and c, and the files in a start with z and the others don't, would the a files still be shown as first? Sorry if this is confusing.

usually when you download manga, the files are already named so it will be easy to read in order, i don't recommend putting the files together because it will take a long time to rename the files as you said. i recommend you keeping the files in separate chapters and volumes, as this will make your life a whole lot easier

I decided to test that out with another manga, which was formatted like this: http://i.imgur.com/DOB9H1F.png. This one worked normally, but when I tried it with the other manga, formatted like this: http://i.imgur.com/DOB9H1F.png, it skips from 1(1) to 1(10), and then all over the place. (Sorry, the upload files button and the reply comment button aren't working for me right now :/)

the links you sent me are the same :P. Yeah, i've also noticed that copies are often read wrong. Try not to put files together that have the same name, otherwise your computer will think that they are same and one of them is just a copy. This causes renaming ie("page1.png", "page1(1).png", "page2.png", "page(2).png") You either have to keep the files separately, or if you're lucky, there might be a software out there that renames your files (in detail).
(btw - good choice in manga, Black Cat is one of my favs)
