QComicBook. A, umm, comic book reader.
July 16, 2006
If you’re a fan of comic books, you’re going to come across cbr files at some point. This is a compressed format for packaging jpegs. Going through each jpeg in a comic book would be annoying, but thankfully QComicBook transforms it from a chore to a joy – well, at least for good comics.
To install it in Dapper, simply add this to your sources.list :
deb http://qcomicbook.horisone.com/ dapper main
And then execute :
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install qcomicbook
Enjoy !

I found a comicbook reader for your palm.
I found your site because I was looking for palm and comic and reader.

Just a quick comment to say that qcomicbook seems to now be contained in the multiverse repo so if you’ve got that ion your sources.list already you can just ‘apt-get install’ – I just installed version 0.3.2-0ubuntu6 of qcomicbook and seems to be working fine…
