Uploading comic books into ComicBookPad
===========================

Controls
======
(not that you wouldn't be able to figure it out)

- Tap to show or hide menus
- Double-tap to zoom in or out
- Pinch to manually zoom in or out
- Swipe to go to the next or previous page
- Tap at the corner of the page to go to the next or previous page
- Pet gently to show it your love

Seemingly Boring but Otherwise VERY Important Remarks
===================================

- Make sure the file names within each comic book archive are numbered in ascending order (Example1.jpg, Example2.jpg). They usually come that way, but hey, you never know.
- ComicBookPad has been created for the sole purpose of viewing legally obtained material. Don't be a butthead, respect other people's work.
- No actual comic books are included in the purchase of the app. Sad, we know, but true.
