# E-readers Comic Book Adapter

A tool to easily visualize comic books on any e-book reader.

The ideas: 

- Maximize panel size

- Tap the screen to see the next panel!

![screenshot](https://github.com/Gauff/ComicStripToKindle/blob/master/screenshot.png)

This tool processes comic files (PDF, CBR, CBZ, zip archives and directories of them) by: 

- Extracting individual panels

- Adjusting the panels according to your e-reader screen size

- Improve output quality

- Generate a PDF file you can easily read on your device

# In a nutshell

## Define your e-reader profile

# About this Project

At times, during the night, I get these silly ideas... like when my daughter was learning to read.

"I wonder if she could read a comic book on that old 6" Kindle?"

This is a past pet project crafted in C# from before the surge of Python machine/deep learning hype.

  

It uses the following  (deprecated) libraries:

- AForge

- iTextSharp

I share it as it was.
