I have a Kindle Fire 10 and wanted to read some cbz comic I got from humble bundle, but after I transfer the files with my PC to the "Books" folder on the kindle, I couldn't find them. I looked around on the tablet and I think they might be on the miscelaneous section, for some reason.
How can I read the books on cbz or cbr format on a Kindle Fire 10?

I use ComiCat from the Amazon app store. It was two or three bucks, iirc.

Are there any decent workarounds for Marvel Unlimited not having an app for Fire devices? Am I stuck just reading them in the browser?

I don't own a Kindle Fire, but apparently you can side-load the Google Play store?

Stupid people are great at winning arguments, because they're too stupid to realize they've lost.
Comixology has another 50% off Dark Horse code (DH50) which combines with the DH stuff already on sale, making all their Hellboy and Troy Nixey books 75% off.

Already have Ms Marvel (it a steal with the sale and buy one get one free), but an of the other stuff on sale worth getting? I see a ton of Captain Marvel and Kree/Skrull related books on sale that will be dirt cheap.

Isn't the sale on every single Marvel comic? There are hundreds of things to recommend. Are you looking for anything specific?
You could catch up on Jason Aaron's Thor stuff for War of the Realms.

I was mostly talking about the stuff that are also on sale from earlier in the week that also get a further discount.

Is Hellboy in Mexico a separate thing or in one of the other collections? I’m guessing all the BRPD stuff is also separate.

Also there appear to be multiple different volumes of BPRD coming out concurrently, but the Plague of Frogs volumes seem about 4 times bigger so I’m guessing those are what I’d want

Hellboy in Mexico is a themed trade but all of them should be in the short stories omnibus. Bprd starts with plague of frogs then hell on earth and then the current one. Bprd 194X is a series that shows the start of bprd and has some elements that later stories play off of. Same thing with vampire. Hellboy and bprd just shows hellboy early adventures. Abe Saipan is also a good read along with lobster Johnson. Withfinder is also worth a read but the second trade is worth it just for the art. Really all the hellboy universe stuff is great

Ok I think I figured it out; the original volumes 1-4 had a story called Plague of Frogs and then that’s also the title of volume 3, then they later do a new set of volumes which is subtitled Plague of Frogs Vol 1-4.
This is why I keep giving up whenever I try to get into Hellboy. At least the omnibuses help

The series has one of the worst numbering systems I've ever seen in comics. It's fun and the collected version doesn't have that problem though.

I almost always buy single issues, but went with the collection because it was confusing. Didn't get to enjoy BOGO because of it (everything else I bought was $1), but it was only like a buck more than singles would have been.

I also somehow missed Squirrel Girl #17 years ago. Oops!

This was my same issue. One sale it was cheaper to buy single issues than the trades, so that solved my BPRD problems.

Nah there's a browser extension you should get and it'll pop up when you're on a site that has Ebates. Otherwise you have to go to the ebates site and click through I think. Minus side they only seem to pay out quarterly or something.
