Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

Buying a Kobo was the solution for me, because having the time to go to a library on a regular basis just wasn't going to happen.
I'm using a third party reader, but Kobo has the option to export the bought books into DRM free formats, so I've also been buying ebooks there. And some authors (like Brandon Sanderson) explicitly distribute their books without DRM!
Hey thanks. Sweet timing.
I upgraded my eBook readers to non-Kindle devices, and I've been looking for my next DRM free books to buy.
I finished the Vorkosigan Saga, and almost everything by Corey Doctorow. I was looking for another DRM-free author to throw my money at.
Anyone have a recommendation on a good starting point for Brandon Sanderson's work?
Hey! I usually recommend starting with the Mistborn series, as the first 3 books are a self-contained story and aren't as long as Storm light Archive. If you want to start with a standalone book, my personal favourite is Yumi and the Nightmare Painter, but Warbreaker or Elantris are also pretty solid. There's also a collection of short stories called The Arcanum Unbound, if you want to start with some quick glances into the universe.
All in all, it doesn't really matter in which order you read, as almost all of Sanderson's work happens in the same universe and has subtle interconnections. Just, when you get to the Stormlight Archive, don't skip the novellas that were released between the main novels, they are actually relevant to the main plot.
What reader so you use?
PocketBook - it seems they are sold in Ukraine and Poland
