Kapow! is a web-based application that allows you to read your graphic novel/comic book library (CBR and CBZ files) on your iPhone or iPod Touch. It has some neat features:

  • Scales to page width in portrait and landscape mode.
  • Double-tap to intelligently zoom in.
  • Subsequent pages are preloaded - you rarely have to wait when turning the page.
  • The book and page you're reading are stored, so you can easily find where you were up to.
  • Browse your comics using your filesystem's hierarchy.
  • Optionally resize images before sending, to reduce bandwidth use.

Here's a screenshot:

The Kapow! project is an open source endeavour, available under the MIT license included with this distribution. It was initiated by Joseph Pearson of Inventive Labs (http://www.inventivelabs.com.au), using the Sinatra web application framework and Prototype-flavoured Javascript.
