I really like koreader for manga. It's designed to support eink so it has a really clean interface thought it can feel clunky in the menus. Even so, it's really customizable and open source!
As for a small screen, I'm not sure what else can help, but I understand the plight. Personally I feel the ui staying out of the way goes a long way.
+1 for koreader, just bought a used Kindle and installed it with Zen and it is perfect for reading on the 6" screen. Can't attest to manga/comics on it but it's a great reader.
I have MoonReader installed since >10 years... Rarely use it but it does PDF and ePub fine
I think its a dead project unfortunately, but maybe someone will fork it.
Seenva will detect text and frames and use smart zooming to make comics readable on smaller screens.
This looks like exzctly the kind of solution I might need, thank you so much
I use Librera, and it works great for books and comics.
I really like this app. It also works awesome with local text to speech engines like Sherpa onnx.
Mihon with a local library us by far the best. Problem is it doesn't do pdf, so you'd have to find a way to convert to epub, or ideally cbz.
Calibre converts easily.
Oh i dont mind converting, I'll check it out thanks!!
Episteme.
Lately I've been self-hosting my books with Audiobookshelf and using their app for epubs, PDFs, cbzs, and m4b files, the last one being actual audio books. Before that I was using Lithium for epub files and it worked quite well.
I use FBReader. It can process CBRs. It reads ePubs and pdfs just fine too. I've been using it for years now. It has a lot bad reviews though. Alternatively I use Librera, it also processes CBRs and CBZs.
