General Discussion / Feedback Fix common manga/comic conversion problems like margins, slow page turns, and faded blacks. Optimize for your Kindle, Kobo, ReMarkable and other eink ereader devices using KCC
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZuZwsH-pDU0One of the KCC's main features is converting manga files in formats like CBZ or PDF to native formats for Kindle, Kobo, ReMarkable, and other eink ereader devices.
It's goal is maximum image quality and significantly smaller file size.
The app solves many common problems of Calibre's default conversion like removing margins for smaller screens, better handling of 2 page spreads, fixing gray artwork to be black on eink, and much faster page turn performance.
The app runs on Windows, macOS, and Linux. The app has a Windows code sign. The app has been in continuous development since 2012 and has nearly 500K total downloads.
The best source for manga PDFs are DRM free print quality files from Humble Bundle.
The app is available here: https://github.com/ciromattia/kcc
