Hidden interface

One of the weak points of reading online comics is the computer screen size limitation. More specifically, the vertical dimension of the screen. Traditional comics are vertical and computer screens are horizontal. So, every space occupied by the interface is a lost space. Every pixel matters.

Horizontal interfaces waste the poor screen vertical space. Vertical interfaces solve this problem, but they waste horizontal space necessary when zooming the page.

The solution? Eliminate the interface! In the Free comic Reader, all the menus and buttons are hidden, and are just showed when you want it. With the interface out of the way, the only thing that remains on the screen is what matters: the comics.

Keyboard shortcuts

To improve the reading flow, all the functionalities of the Free Comic Reader are accessible via keyboard. At any moment it is necessary to pause your reading to navigate through pages, zoom or drag them. The idea is to let the process as natural as possible.

All the functions are accessible via keyboard: navigate through pages, zoom, page scrolling, access to menus and page gallery.

Ready to use

Do not require installation. The only files you need are the .swf and the xml list of pages. Both can be put on any directory of the website, as long as they are over the same directory.

Adapt to any screen size, readjusting the interface.

Just download and publish your comics on the Web!

Important: the "scale" parameter value must be settled to "noscale"
