Getting a library card in Detroit was a whole new era of comic reading for me. Meanwhile I'm in Oxford Michigan and our library has no interest in Hoopla or any of the other perks

I was gonna suggest getting a nonresident Detroit library card but Jumping Jesus on a Pogo Stick it's $100/year.

Yeah, most paid library cards are fairly expensive and (usually) place limits on what you can borrow. Like my library doesn’t have comics or hoopla (or video games or… much honestly) but I can buy a card for another town, but I can’t borrow e-books with it, and it doesn’t get me much beyond the books they physically have.

God, I'm so glad that I can not only get a card for my city's library system (and there's a branch across the street, so I can easily get physical books sent there for pickup), but the surrounding counties also offer cards to my city's residents for free.

Our's is a big regional system for Vancouver Island & a handful of remote islands. Seems a good way to go, if there isn't the population density of a big city. Good luck convincing multiple governments to cooperate though.

Yeah my local one services a massive physical area but it's the only real library in that area so it makes sense, in a surprising move for a city government funded thing.

If anyone reads this thread and is intrigued by Hoopla but lives someplace with no/poor access to it, keep in mind many US libraries offer paid out-of-county registration that allows access to online resources including Hoopla (Libby, Kanopy, and other services are worth trying too!). My local library likes to brag on how many users it has internationally. Compared to a year of Marvel/DC/Kindle, the cost can be quite competitive! I'll make this my New Year's Goon resolution, to sniff out some good value-for-checkout rates in US libraries.

Can any YACreader users tell me if it can, within the app, copy files from a network mounted drive like a Nvidia shield? The website implies this is possible but seems to reference a separate desktop program that I want to avoid.

You have to used the server app which is available for Windows/Mac/Linux. It can also grab stuff from a linked OneDrive/DropBox/Google Drive as well.

if you are a tachiyomi user, make a library backup and, if you know how, backup the apk as well because the devs have closed shop https://tachiyomi.org/news/2024-01-13-goodbye e: it looks like the dev of the fork TachiyomiSY has decided to keep it available, though it may be renamed in the future site fucked around with this message at 22:46 on Jan 13, 2024 |

https://x.com/mangaalerts/status/1779730054668259443?s=46&t=X6-Ut4Z5gjBZ_q10eeG_mg The Viz app is a fantastic deal, there’s tons of great manga both old and current on it. Check it out if you’re in the UK, Ireland, Australia, or New Zealand

https://bsky.app/profile/omnibus.bsky.social/post/3kqj67nft2s22 Omnibus app coming to Android any day now, from the sound of it. Combined with Comixology's notification that it will die in Kindle's stomach, I'm game to try a new digital comics store. Google Play Books and Kobo haven't cut it for me.

Finally official, just as Free Comic Book Day passes: the Omnibus app is live on Android! Just because my Comixology/Kindle TBR is infinite doesn't mean I can't buy some more comics on a non-Amazon platform! In-app, no less.

I've got a Galaxy Tab A which has been decent, but it's suffered some damage, has anything Android came out in the last few years that people like for reading comics. 99 percent of it's use will be comics, videos or poo poo posting here while in bed

YACReader is on Android now if you're wanting to read your own collection. It's my favorite reader on iOS or Android. You do need a server running to grab the books from your library and download them to the tablet though. Or you can just read them straight from the library without downloading them. Think of it like a Plex for comics.

Comics, streaming, some socials, does great at them all in a slim, light package.

Look very similar to a bundle I got on Comixology back in the day. VERY worth it. Hellboy is incredible.
