    Thanks for sharing! I don't have anything focused to say, so here's a smattering of random thoughts:

    Any reason why you chose to download as PDFs? Are comic book archives (e.g. .cbz) not the more common format for this kind of stuff?

    I was somewhat confused skimming through your README, since it felt like I was suddenly reading about building from source when I was in the "Installation" section.

    Might be worth throwing a ## Build section right before ### Build from Source (Mac, Linux, Windows). Or promote ### to ## for the Build from Source (Mac, Linux, Windows) section.

      Thanks for checking it out and for the helpful feedback!

      I did pdfs as I built this at first to put some comics on my reMarkable eink reader. I wasn't aware of cbz - I'll look into supporting that with this tool, too.

      Good note about separating build from install. I have another project's README I should do that to as well :)

        the cbz format is simply a folder of images which has been zipped, and then the .zip file has been renamed to .cbz
        It became popular due to the freeware comic book viewer CDisplay back in the 1990s. (great program!)
