ipad for reading (not just golden-age) comics
paw broon:
Despite being the chair of our local luddite society ::), I don't seem to have any problems downloading and reading comics on my Samsung 10 inch tablet. And I use a basic file manager to choose a comic then Perfect Viewer opens it. As for downloading, I download files to my p.c. then choose what I want to read and load stuff onto the external sd card. My file manager let's me choose from books on internal or external storage as comics bought from Comixology and Izneo only seem to go to the internal storage, and there seems no way to transfer or copy them to the sd card. That's the only problem I seem to have and as there is a pile of free space on the tablet, it doesn't really concern me yet. My pal, Vince, has a credit card sized thingy which holds 6 or 8 micro sd cards and that's a lot of storage, so he can carry comics, books and old radio shows about with him. Lots of files on Friardale and other places are pdf's and the free pdf reader I found works fine, so I don't need to buy a conversion prog.
Or am I missing something here?
Yoc:
Sounds like you've got it sorted Paw.
The programs mentioned were for working with Apple's amazingly annoying file restrictions with their iPads.
Poztron:
I found that using Dropbox to place scan files in Comic Zeal on my iPad was much quicker and simpler than using iTunes. It just took a little digging to figure out how.
Yoc:
Thanks Poz, but that means wasted bandwidth going up and down if you already had the scan on your PC. Beside annoying it's illogical unless one planned to share it with others.

The easiest method I've found to move content in and out of most iPad apps is to use a program called iExplorer (http://www.macroplant.com/downloads.php and download iExplorer version 2 - yes, I know, 3 is available, but you want 2).
Allows you to access the Documents directory of almost any app and drag and files to and fro.
