![]() The Nook version had much fewer compression artifacts, and the gray tones were crisper and cleaner. As you might guess, this translates directly to quality. Tiptoe for Nook was 17.3 MB whereas Kindle was only 11.4 MB. Right off the bat I noticed that Nook's file size is much bigger than Kindle's. I have an iPad, so my caveat is that I'm not able to compare the two platforms on their original devices. I'm our biggest fan! I bought Tiptoe for both Kindle and Nook because I wanted to compare the two versions. The books range in the 100 MB range, which explains why the quality is fantastic. Since Apple takes a cut, DMP priced everything higher accordingly. The books are in-app purchases and are charged to your Apple account, not to your eManga or other DMP account. I'm still waiting to see if anything changes when the new Nook and Kindle tablets come up, but for now, this DMP app is the best option for reading DMG titles on an iPad.ĮDIT: I figured out the reason the titles are more expensive using the iPad app. I guess you get what you pay for, though, since it is a better iPad reading experience than the Nook or Kindle app (I mentioned in a previous post that the Nook and Kindle pages are sized for the e-readers and don't fill up the entire iPad screen). The only strange thing is that the DMG titles are $8.99 compared to $7.95 on Amazon and Barnes & Noble. Each book has a 10-page preview, though for many of them, the first 9 pages are all title, table of contents, credits, etc. The interface is intuitive and responsive (I've tried manga readers where you had to swipe hard and decisively to turn the page), and there was no lag when I was swiping through the pages quickly. I'm always on the look out for more pictures of DMG titles on readers and to hear what your experience has been like with digital manga. K) azurelucy's Sony PRS-T1 running Aldiko The dimensions of the manga match the screen, so this is a good alternative to a Kindle Touch or Nook Touch. DMG EMANGA FULLApple has pulled DMP's more explicit titles from the DMP app in iTunes, but lucky Android owners still have the full library.įor the technologically savvy folks, here's a screenshot from a rooted Sony PRS-T1. which is the best quality for the iPad, but books are $1 more than Amazon and BN ( see this post). J) DMP's Android App (Samsung Galaxy Tab) For the record, BN has not rejected or pulled any DMP titles.Īnd then there's the D MP app available for iPad and Android tablets: The Color Edition is formatted to fit the dimensions of the larger screen, which is why Rae's DMG title fills the screen and lucy's still has some margin. There are two editions of each book: regular and color. There's no noticeable compression or artifacts, and the files are still negligibly small on broadband (~15 MB). They look comparable to their respective Kindle counterparts, but due to circumstances beyond our (and DMG's) control, the Nook file format is higher quality than the Kindle file format. G) Rae's Nook Color (with a Nook Color edition) DMG EMANGA UPDATEI'll update here as we find out more info.į) azurelucy's Nook Color (with a regular Nook edition) You have to hit the X to close the zoom window before moving on.Īlso, Amazon has rejected an explicit BDSM DMG title, and it's unclear if more titles will be removed in the future. Also, you can't swipe to the next page when you're zoomed in. You can zoom in on both, but both BLBB and I agree that there is an unfortunate amount of image compression, and the artifacts make reading small side text difficult. Without geeking out and getting consistent lighting and scale references and good cameras (I used an iPhone), it looks like the Kindle iPad app and the Fire are pretty comparable. As mentioned in a previous post, there's lots of white space since the files were made for a different sized screen, but the quality is still good. Enjoy, hun! To round things out, I've also included the Kindle iPad App (bottom right). Considering the price of the Fire, this is a pretty sweet toy. BLBB's Kindle Fire (bottom left) still has some white space, but the contrast looks pretty good. ![]()
