About Paperback
Paperback is a comic and manga reader for iPhone and iPad. It has no ads, and third-party extensions add sources of content to read. You can download chapters to read offline, and connect external trackers so your reading progress is recorded automatically.
It suits iOS users who follow manga series and want one app for reading and tracking them. Content comes from the extensions you add rather than from the app itself.
