See the thread How to download full resolution images? and the AZW6 Image Merge calibre plugin for more details.

Getting good quality images requires more effort. They are delivered in Amazon's KF8 (azw3) format and only have DRM if the publisher requested it.Ĭomics downloaded that way have only low resolution images. Kindle comics can be downloaded from Amazon's web site if you own a Kindle e-reader or Fire tablet. But files downloaded using that method are a third or less the size of CBZs downloaded from ComiXology as the images are lower resolution.

I'm assuming that will also go away with the ComiXology website.Īs for downloading with Kindle for PC, yes, I do that already. There's also a handy Chrome plug-in that lets you download and back-up files that you have purchased from less enlightened publishers. So unless that behavior is integrated into the app (which I doubt, based on Amazon's treatment of DRM-free ebook publishers like Tor and Baen), the ability to download will go away. If you look at the same book I mentioned, you will only see two of the three icons. Tha third icon lets you know you can download a DRM-free copy if you purchase it. Below the description, there are three icons: 17+, HD and a Download icon. There are publishers that insist their comics be sold DRM-free: Image, Fantagraphics, Calibre, I forget who else.Ĭurrently, when you buy from one of them, you can download the file as a. Personally I wish it were the other way around. while the website will absolutely be integrated into the amazon website during 2022, it also iterated the the user interface for the comiXology app (iOS and Android) will receive a much needed refresh and that the app will stay.
