How to read comics on your iPod Touch
One of the neat things an iPod Touch can do is be a pocket reader. I already posted a guide on how to read eBooks or PDF’s and this time, I’m going to tackle on the world of comics.
Problem with reading comics on the iPod Touch is that you have to do a lot of zooming in and out just to read the speech bubbles. Fortunately, an app called ComicReader Mobi has solved that.
Just tap on a portion of the comic and it will zoom in only that part for easy reading. It’s like having a magnifying glass on your fingertip.
I tried other comic reader apps and this one is probably the best I’ve seen. It can support .cbr, .cbz, .pdf, and .zip. As common in most apps, it can’t handle large files very well (around 20MB and up) but it’s perfect for mangas.
How to put your comics on your iPod Touch
Uploading comics in ComicReader requires an FTP connection. Your iPod should be on the same wireless network as your PC.
1. Launch ComicReader and click the Preference icon (gear).
If a comic is opened, double-tap the screen to bring up the controls.
2. Click Start FTP Server.
3. Take note of the IP Address that you need to connect into.
4. If you’re not familiar with FTP connections, I suggest using an FTP client like FileZilla. Go ahead and download and install it. It’s light and free. Open FileZilla.
5. On the Quickconnect portion, key in the IP Address ComicReader gave you. Skip the username and password and click the Quickconnect button.
6. Once connected, just drag your file (.cbr, .cbz, .pdf, .zip) on the right pane (Remote Site) of the application. You will see your file transferring at the bottom part.
7. That’s it. Click Stop FTP Server on your iPod Touch to disconnect.
8. Look for your uploaded comic in the library and enjoy!
So there you have it! Your iPod Touch as a comic or manga reader. Now go ahead and transfer all your mangas. I know you want to.

Where can you download free manga files?
hmmm try mangashare.com. you can download or read the manga online.
meron bang way na offline lang ang pag transfer at di na kailangan ang inet?
hmm hindi naman talaga kelangan ng net. wireless connection lang. kung may laptop ka pwede mo syang gawing adhoc wireless network para lang magtransfer ng files wirelessly.
as for transferring files offline merong way like iphone folders pero baka hindi marecognize ng app kung ilalagay mo lang yung file na parang sa mga usb drive.
Where do you usually get your marvel/dc comics if I may ask?
i google for it. i really don’t download a lot of comics. kung ano lang yung available.
