@ Funky: it looks like this is ‘Kindle Edition’, designed to work on the Kindle or the Kindle reader on the PC, Mac, or other devices.
I have a Kindle and I will say this: this file is likely to be either .MOBI or more likely .AZW format, but whatever it is it is also likely to be DRM encrypted.
So, I would say that ComicRack is unlikely to play it, although I cannot say for sure. Your better bet is to use the aforementioned Kindle Reader for PC.

There is a way to convert your comics into PDF with ComicRack. Find your comic while in the folder tab, right click the desired comic(s), select export comics -> export ecomic. A number of options will open in a new window. Choose destination folder, delete existing file (if you want), select format type, compression, etc. It isn’t quite perfect, I’ve had some problems with some comics being skipped when I select several at a time to export and it lagged a bit to get going ( this may have been an issue on my end though).

Just a note to add to this. Comic Rack, while free, is also nagware after 50 views. That may be OK for some and not for others.

@ Brondy: ComicRack can read PDF files if you install GhostScript on your system.

good to have that one

Terrible program. Actually, there may be a great program hidden in here…but, like Microsoft bloatware, there’s a lot of crap I don’t want and won’t ever need. And there is no proper FAQ or help to explain how things work.

Thus, the bottom section of the page is taken up with a library viewer which I would never use, given my habits. It goes away and pops back up at the most annoying times. I don’t know why it is there or how I can permanently get rid of it. You can put the display portion in its own window, but then you have no navigational buttons.

I could not figure out a way to open up multiple instances, in order to have several different comics up at once. I like to do this in order to compare art.

This program is a classic example of too many features, not enough documentation.

@ Wes – Yes, it works.. I installed it on my netbook and can read comics off the disc.. But do make sure your netbook does have a Dvd/Cd drive.. Mine did not so i had to buy an USB drive for it..

happy holidays.

I have been trying to figure out how to convert the comics files on Comicrack into pdf and have found nothing on its menu to do such a conversion even though it is advertised as being able to convert the files. Can someone help me?

not for me, the program trashes my video — I have the feeling it doesn’t like the Emerge shell too well

This looks to be a pretty nice comic book reader for Windows. It’s not Comix, but my favorite reader only works on Linux, so this one does a good job of filling in for it when I’m using Windows.

I would personally recommend Comical 0.8 for all these comic book formats. It’s much lighter than this one. I don’t think anyone would want a RAM guzzler when it comes to scrolling through images!!
