Previous Thread | Next Thread

Another week in the books. Let's chat about manga in the general discussion thread! Feel free to use this thread for questions, comments, recommendations, etc.

Like normal, please be careful with spoilers. I wrote a guide about spoilers in case you need a refresher on how to handle them (also linked in the sidebar).

Boox Page

I have the Boox Leaf and yeah, it's great. I mainly use it with Mihon and Bookwalker. I buy my manga volumes mainly on Kobo's webshop now and put them on my Komga server to read with Mihon's Komga extension.

Regarding the page turn button, if yours is anything like mine, it's just a volume rocker to Android. So, if the other apps don't support turning pages using the volume buttons, then yeah, it won't work.

E-Ink displays are clunky, but once you get over that, it's a much better experience then a phone or tablet imo.

It actually is configurable on the Boox page! You can set it to be a volume rocker, turn page buttons, or for scrolling. I guess I haven't tried setting it to scrolling to switch pages, but I doubt that would work either.

Would be nice to see a more advanced configuration utility like the steam deck has; there's no reason I shouldn't be able to push the button to simulate a swipe!
