How to read Brazilian comics on Kindle
You don't need the device: the Kindle app works on your phone. A quick guide to reading Brazilian comics digitally, with the Radius universe as an example.
Digital comics solve an old problem for readers: finding comics from a specific country, or an independent creator, in your local store. With Kindle, they arrive in seconds. And you don't need the device.
Do you need a Kindle?
No. Kindle is Amazon's e-reader, but the free Kindle app runs on phones, tablets and computers. Your purchase stays in your Amazon account and shows up on any device where you sign in.
Phone, tablet or e-reader
For comics, the screen matters. A standard Kindle e-reader has a black-and-white screen, great for books but it drains the color out of comics. A tablet is the best place for color comics, because it shows the whole page at a good size. On a phone you can read well by zooming into the panels.
How to find Brazilian comics in the store
In the Kindle store, searching for "Brazilian comics" helps, but the surest path is to search for the title or the publisher. Many independent publishers have their own page with direct links. Before buying, open the free sample: it shows the first pages and gives you an idea of how the comic looks on your screen.
Where to start with Radius
The whole Radius universe is on Kindle: the three volumes of the first arc, the spin-off Pituco #1: Aurora Esmeralda and the book Quatro Patas, a história de Pituco. The page kindle.radiushero.com.br/en gathers the links.
For English readers, the best way in is RADIUS: The Complete Saga, the three volumes collected in one English edition. To get your bearings first, the where to start guide explains the setting.
The three Portuguese volumes are also on Kindle Unlimited, so subscribers read them at no extra cost.
