PRACTICAL GUIDES / NO. 73

Put comics on the same digital shelf.

The panels can join the library without being treated like reflowable novels.

3 min readReviewed September 13, 2026
THE SHORT ANSWER

Choose Add books, upload a supported comic archive, review the title and series information, and open it in the comic reader. Check first, middle, and final pages before relying on the import.

01

Prepare a valid archive

A comic archive contains ordered page images. Use predictable zero-padded filenames when creating one yourself. Keep the original archive and avoid nesting another archive inside it.

02

Fix series metadata

Confirm series name, volume number, title, and cover. Comic filenames often emphasize issue numbers but omit author or series fields, so staging review makes browsing much clearer later.

03

Test visual reading

Open pages with double spreads, small lettering, and unusual orientation. Choose a page-fit mode that matches the screen. Reading position is page-based and should not be compared directly with EPUB percentage.

A few things worth asking.

Can I upload a folder of page images?

Package the ordered images as a supported comic archive first.

Will comic progress sync to an EPUB edition?

No exact mapping should be assumed. They are different assets with different location models.
