Drop in CBZ and CBR files: fast, full-screen reading built for iPad. No accounts, ads or tracking. Now: Continue Reading widget and on-device collection suggestions.
Obsidian Comic Reader turns your iPad into the comic reading device it was always meant to be.
Import your own CBZ and CBR files and they become a beautiful, organized library: covers front and center, series grouped automatically, reading progress tracked for you.
A library that organizes itself Obsidian Comic Reader parses issue names and groups your books into series shelves automatically. Prefer your own system? Assign comics to manual collections that override the automatic grouping. Browse as a flat grid, collapsed series, or expandable shelves, whatever fits your collection.
A reader that gets out of the way Full-screen, distraction-free reading with instant swipe response. Pinch to zoom into panels and lettering. View single pages, or rotate to landscape for two-page spreads the way double-page art was meant to be seen. Finish an issue and flow straight into the next; series navigation carries you through your whole run without leaving the reader.
