    Awesome! :) love the next page cache for cbr.
    (did have some weird battery drain after I installed the new version. Not sure if it is related though, my bat. (g1) went from 15% (which is very low at night, hardly ever have it that low @ night :S) to 4% in just 20 minutes without doing something. Did get the “can’t load because of limited resource error” in landscape mode a few times and just pressed back to return to homescreen earlier today).

    A friend of mine who has a g2 and just installed the new version had his bat. drain to about 10% as well.

    really weird, but might be some other app though…

    Dear Henk,

    Glad you liked the new version!

    It’s hard to tell if the battery drain is related to Droid Comic Viewer or not. In any case, to save battery, it’s best to decompress the comics into a folder in the SD card, and then open the folder with a long tap. This way you avoid using the battery to decompress the images.

    Hope it helps.

    Hi!

    I absolutely LOVE your comic viewer, but there is one thing that is badly missing: The ability to set a bookmark. I usually read some pages/chapters in one book and then go to another one and now I have to write down or remember which page(image) I last read in every single book. This is very tedious – so pleeeease make a bookmarking feature come to my rescue will ya? ;)

    Thank you Fredrik!

    Future versions of Droid Comic Viewer will include bookmarking. Stay tuned.
