I wish someone would write a half decent Mac reader…

CDisplayEx is in *no way* afilliated with Megatallica or his god awful re-hashed version of CDisplay1.8.5.1

CDisplayEx is now generally considered to be the way to go, since its A. much better, B. open source and B. much better.

I realise points A and C were the same, but i felt it was important enough to mention twice.

That sounds like too much work McKack. Certainly CBRs are just rars renamed, same goes for cbz->zip. If you use CDisplay it shows a nice two page spread and has easy shortcuts for reloading the last comic you were reading, bookmarking, skipping from beginning to end, etc.

If you got some sort of program that can unpack zip/rar etc for whatever OS you use, you can unpack the cbr’s cause they are in fact just compressed archives storing multiple image files.

I don’t know if this goes for ALL cbr’s but the ones I’ve got unpacks just dandy.

Anyways I’ve just set WinRAR as the default program for cbr’s and use Windows XP’s own image viewer to read “digital” comics.

If you haven't seen ComicBookLover for Mac OS X yet, you should definitely check it out. It's a seriously slick way for managing, sorting, reading, etc., your Comic Book collection.

“The biggest disadvantage here that I can see though is it appears to only display in black and white.”

Yeah, and that it will have suck DRM rootkits installed…
