     Pretty sure I'll end up making my own epub reader at some point but reading books on even a laptop kind of sucks.

     @ledoian Well I used it as such for a while, just pause it and use angle brackets as prev/next.
     
     mcomix is a quite good CBZ reader in my experience though, like good enough that for single volumes I typically don't transfer to my e-reader (specially as mangas take a lot of space).

     @ledoian Oof no CBZ on an e-reader sounds annoying :(
     
     At least for mine (Kobo Sage) I made sure there were both a wide rage of support for various formats plus alternative firmware so it potentially wouldn't get outdated if some cursed new format get released. (or I guess something like jpegxl in CBZ)

     @lanodan I don't know whether I have tried mcomix yet. I experimented with readers some time ago, zathura's cb plugin works good for me when on laptop, and on phone (PostmarketOS) I ended up using Okular, both of these were quite usable (but I don't have too sophisticated requirements).

     My e-reader is too lame, both in screen estate (manga mostly does not fit in any reasonable way) and in firmware (no cbz support) :-/

     @lanodan I got the e-reader as a gift, so I didn't have much say about it. So I only use it for epubs and the subset of PDFs that fits the screen, and it is quite good at that 🤷

     And I think there might be an alternative firmware (it's a random Pocketbook), but it is not a pressing issue for me atm :-)
