On my fire tablet I like to read Manga and use tachiyomi but afaik it doesn't seem to actually download the files of the Manga, only the Manga to read if offline I think?

Downloaded manga in Tachiyomi are saved in a folder called Tachiyomi by default and you can tell the app to save the manga in cbz archives. You can then copy these .cbz files to another drive.

Check the FAQ, I think I saw there some sources dedicated to that.

I use a program called FMD (free Manga Downloader) I have it running in a container on my server and have a bunch of series watchlisted, when chapters are released it download them, converts them to CBZ and they appear in my Komga Library which I can access via web browser or Tachiyomi on all of my devices anywhere in the world.

Komga is a server app that manages comics and manga and makes them available via a web interface, has multi user management and multiple library support with read tracking and such.. think Plex for Manga.

I access it from my Phone and my Boox e-ink Tablet and if I use the webui it tracks where I've read up to between devices.

So if I wanted to read on my fire tablet I'd have to be somewhere where there's internet?

Or use the komga add on for tachiyomi to download the series and read off-line. I've never had to do that as I've never not had internet on my devices

There's no wifi at work and obliviously my fire tablet can't use 4g etc

just remembered this thread and i looked into komga a bit. So it takes your cbz files etc and lets you read them where theres internet...but how do you download manga without dealing with api limits like tachiyomi plugins have?

That's what FMD does. I give it a list of series to follow and the preferred source for them and it just downloads the lot as fast as it can and checks for updates regularly.

It's kind of like sonarr for manga and comics.

Ah that's cool I'll look into that
