eComic2010.0.0.4

eComic is a lightweight software application whose purpose is to help you read comic books. It works with the following file formats: CBR, CBZ, CB7, RAR, ZIP, GNR, GNZ, and PDF.

Clutter-free interface

You are welcomed by a clean and simplistic layout that embeds only a few viewing options. The tool displays all pages from a comic book in a sequential order and reveals the current page number and title of the book in the main window.Comic books can be added in the working environment using the built-in browse button or drag-and-drop support. The program keeps a list with recently opened files and allows you to import the content of an entire directory.

Reading capabilities

eComic helps you read comic books in a full screen mode and easily jump to the next or previous page or to a certain page using the built-in slider.You can make use of a magnifier for examining data in detail, zoom in or out of the current page, fit the image to the screen, as well as make the application show the original size.What’s more, you can reload the last comic book that was opened, and load the previous or next archive. On the downside, the utility eats up a lot of CPU and memory, so the overall performance of your computer may be hampered.A few configuration settings allow you to adjust the number of recently viewed items, alter the level of the magnifier, and use the mouse wheel to control the zoom.

Bottom line

All things considered, eComic provides a basic suite of features for helping you read comic books, and is suitable especially for rookies. It hasn’t been updated for a while so you can make use of its capabilities especially if you are the owner of an old operating system, such as XP, Vista or 7.
