Hi! I'm super new to buying digital manga from japanese sites, and you seem knowledgeable, so can you please help me? Do I understand correctly that all these sites won't allow you to download a file to your PC, only read it online either in browser or on their app? So if I want to have a pdf/bunch of jpgs for saving/editing etc I have to screenshot every single page while reading in browser? Or is there a more comfortable method? Thank you in advance!
Hello! Now, I am not very knowledgeable but I try to make do with the help of the auto-google translation. And yes, you are correct. There are no pdf/jpg/png etc. files once you purchased the digital mangas, you can only read them online on the sites itself. You can’t even save them in your hard drive. What I do is that, I would screenshot the scenes/mangacaps that I like and then proceed to save and edit them. Unfortunately, I have yet to come across any other (easier or efficient) method but I hope this helps to clarify your inquiries ^^
For example, Renta’s would open a new separate window for your reading:
However, Ebookjapan open’s on the same window:
