Reading comics on a digital photo frame?

[Trevor841]

Hi. Unfortunately, portable comic book readers do not yet exist so I was recommended to change the .cbr files to .rar files, open them with winrar and extract the .jpeg's into seperate folders for each comic then to use a digital photo frame to view the .jpeg's.

Sounding like a great idea, I went and bought a fairly expensive digital photo frame today (Sony S-Frame DPF-D70) but I have already ran into a few problems...

Basically, Because the device was not designed with this in mind, it does not seem to want to display the images in the correct order. The file names are...

Spawn-176-01
Spawn-176-02

...etc etc but the only options seem to be to sort by date or to set them to random.

The other problem is that, the device does not seem to recognize the folders and just displays every .jpeg from every folder at the same time, so even if I got them to display in the correct order, finding the comic you wish to read would still require a lot of skipping through the other comics to get there.

So, what I'm asking I guess, is - does anyone know of a digital photo frame which will be easier to navigate with reading comics in mind? As long as it recognizes the folders and displays the .jpeg's in the correct order, It should work perfectly.

Thanks for reading.

Is it not a setting on the photo frame, sort of like a 'Shuffle' option on an MP3 player thats making them skip through randomly?

Quite a lot of devises just go on date modified, so they essentially go in the same order that you copied them across in.
