Can't install on Windows 7
MCoverKTDecember 26, 2010
Pros
can't install to see any pros
Cons
Can't install on Windows 7. I even tried to roll back to XP capability and that didn't work either
Summary
Tried everything I could to install it and to no avail. Windows 7 said I need to find a compatible prgram through the publisher.
Can't wait for more

Pros
Excellent idea, the premise and design so far make me impatient for the stable builds.
Cons
The beta has its own quirks.
Summary
I tested this program, and while it is still very obviously a beta product, I like it. The main page is a little cluttered for my taste, but i'm hoping that they implement some customization once the program gets to the polishing stages. That being said, getting to the core of the program, IE the actual download and viewing of the comics, I found little to complain about. The zoom function is your friend, if like me, you are running a high resolution display, as the text tends to get too small to read comfortably. Page zoom, with a scrollwheel and the mouse staying stationary over the Next Page button, and I couldn't help but devour the comics that were openly available.
Program too big to fit into memory

Pros
Sounds like a good idea, but...
Cons
...would not install on Windows XP machine, even from command line.
Summary
A simple, free CBR converter is what I was looking for, and this is not it.
