Quivi
Quivi is a straight on looking Manga Reading Tool. It does what it has too, nothing more, nothing less. Quivi is still hard in development which is found at Quivi Homepage at Sourceforge (so it’s open source).
It handles archives very slow, there appears no file cache so it seems to extract each file individual. For solid archives it’s waiting for 2-3 sec on a 7200 dual processor 2GB RAM. However way better than windows image viewer. Poorly it does not remember settings automatically like ‘fit height’. So you need to select it and save the settings.
I won’t recommend this program. Slow speeds in archive and no two display mode.
- Installation optional (zip avaible)
- Customize view and windows (eg. Files in screeny)
- NO Thumbnails mode
- NO Japanese Support (Right to Left reading)
Single Display of images - Explorer mode, a window ‘files’ list all files as a list as it nicely do with archives
- NO Animations
- NO Cache
- NO Yellow reduction
- Reads rar, zip, cbz, cbr
* Quivi is a Manga Reading Tool. This post is a part of my Top 5 Manga Reading Tools post.
Having Quivi at position 5 for slow speed and no customization at all. (Being in the top 5 however is still good 
)
Updated: 22 September 2008, informed by the author’s comment, see first comment. There is an zip avaible which doesn’t need any installation. He also mention you can save the settings. I’ve modified the small review. It’s always neat to find developpers still alive.

Hello,
I\’m the author of Quivi. I\’d like to inform that there is a zip download which does not require installation and you can save the fit type in the options dialog.
As for the other issues, I\’ll try to work on them!
Thanks for the review.

Cool, I’m honored you visit my site. I have modified the post using your comment. I did not thought SourceForge would recall the refer. Or, how you know of the existence of my review 0.o.
At any case, you’re very welcome. I’m glad you didn’t find the review an insult or offence. I wish you luck, I don’t know whether you tried Manga Meeya, but it’s hard to beat them. So I wish you luck and hope you get better

I found kinda by luck, I was searching for “Quivi” on Google to find download sites that registered Quivi to tell them that I had released a new version, and found your site.
And thanks! I’ll try Manga Meeya.
