Description
Imagine holding your comic library in your hands; with Comic Zeal, you don't have to imagine.

Your iPad is the perfect device for reading comics, but reading comics and manga isn't like reading books. You need a specialist app that can:

- Organize your comics by series, don't look through hundreds to find the one you want.
- Show you large covers, they'll tell you more than a title.
- Make it easy to move between issues when reading, you'll go through a few in a sitting.
- Reliably zoom in on content, not show you the same borders page after page.
- Be smart about what to show you when you rotate the device, many comics have a mixture of portrait and landscape pages.
- Load big images fast, you don't want to spend five seconds waiting for a page to load.
- Load your comics using USB, wifi or even cloud services like Drop Box.

That app is Comic Zeal. It does everything on the list and much more. It was the first comic reader on the app store more than two years ago. We've been listening to your feedback and improving on it ever since.

If you're still not convinced read the review and have a look at our star rating. Then buy the app and read the usage tips below whilst it's downloading.

Tips:
- When zooming, hold the gesture for half a second. Comic Zeal will lock that zoom and position when you turn the page, it's a great way to hide borders. Try zooming using your thumbs while holding the iPad in both hands.
- Have a look through the in-app settings. There you can change he background (try the magic one), adjust brightness, turn on manga mode and other useful things.
- You can turn pages by swiping or tapping the sides of the screen. The tap area is thin so that you can easily reach past it with your thumb for scrolling. The BEST way to change page is to simply slide your thumb from the iPad's frame to the screen and back. It's picked up as a page turn every time and it's very natural.
- You can group comics by pressing 'Edit', select more than one comic, press 'Move', then select the 'New Series ...' option.
- You can import cbz/cbr/rar and zip comics directly into Comic Zeal. You can import PDF using Comic Zeal Sync (details below). If you want to import a folder full of images just zip them up.

Loading comics using USB
----------------------

1. Connect the iPad to your computer.
2. iTunes should open automatically, but if it doesn't open iTunes.
3. In the left column, click on Devices > (your iPad)
4. Click on the "Apps" tab.
5. Scroll down from the "Sync Apps" section to the "File Sharing" section.
6. Click on "Comic Zeal".
7. Drop your comic files into the "Comic Zeal 4 Documents" section.
8. Open Comic Zeal on your iPad and it will complete the import!

Comics take around 7 seconds each to import. Please keep in mind that whatever comics you add, iTunes will want to back up. So don't add tens or gigabytes at once or your next sync will take a while!

We're working on iPad PDF import so for now use ComicZeal Sync to convert pdf files into .cbi files (you'll find them in your 'My Documents' directory under ComicZeal_Sync) and import them into iTunes as described above. Check out the bitolithic.com website (link below) for the downloads and instructions.

What's new in Version 4.0.23
Dear Customers, we have one big change for you this time, Comic Zeal is now a universal app that will run on the iPhone and iTouch. You can read more about how this came about here: bitolithic | Whats coming up in Comic Zeal 4.0.22


There are also bug fixes and some other little details. All are described below.

It would mean the world to us if you would update your reviews to reflect the improvements in this new version.

Here's what's new:
- Added iPhone/iTouch compatibility. This is now a universal app that will run on all your iOS devices. Please note that page locking and iTunes file sharing are only available on devices with iOS4 installed.
- Loading and resizing of the next page now happen in the background while you're reading the current page.
- Will now detect when you've dropped more files into iTunes file sharing, you no longer have to re-start the app. It's recommended that you don't keep on dropping files while it's importing though.
- If manga mode is enabled and you're zoomed into the page, when the next page is displayed the top-right hand corner is shown instead of the left.
- Improved page sorting. Some people were naming double page spreads by joining the numbers eg: page 10,page1112,page13. This condition will now be picked up and corrected.
- Fixed an issue where sometimes comics would show on the 'Downloads' tab but not the 'Collections' tab.
- Fixed an issue when moving comics. Under some conditions they used to not move at all, or only into folders with similar names, or only into folders with totally different names (I know, I know) and sometimes the app would crash when starting a move. These should all be fixed now.
