Where to get DRM-free manga and comics for your Kindle
DRM-free manga and comics are files you can download and keep, usually as CBZ, PDF or EPUB. For manga, the usual source is a bundle from Humble Bundle or Fanatical. A few stores sell DRM-free comics directly, some comics are free under an open license, and the Kindle Store is the other legal route.
You don't need a card, and there's nothing to install.
We make MangaSendr, which converts files like these for your Kindle. It doesn't sell or provide manga, so this page lists where the files can come from. The links here aren't affiliate links.
Bundles from Humble Bundle and Fanatical
Both stores sell bundles of digital books for a few weeks at a time, often dozens of volumes from one publisher for much less than the volumes cost one by one. Manga bundles have come from publishers such as Kodansha, ABLAZE and MediBang. Bundles you've bought stay downloadable from your account after they end.
When a bundle offers several formats, pick CBZ. When it doesn't, PDF and image-based EPUB work too. The Humble and Fanatical bundle guide lists recent manga bundles, the format to pick and how to send a whole bundle to your Kindle.

Stores that sell DRM-free comics
These stores sell comics as files you download and keep. We checked each one on its own site on October 8, 2026. Terms change, so look for the words DRM-free and a download button on the product page before you buy. If a store only lets you read inside its own app or website, what you buy there isn't a file you can convert.

Comics you're free to read and share
Pepper&Carrot by David Revoy is a fantasy webcomic about a young witch and her cat, published under the Creative Commons Attribution license (CC BY 4.0). You can read, download and share it for free as long as you credit the author.
The website has 39 episodes, each with high-resolution JPG pages to download. Zip an episode's pages, send the ZIP to MangaSendr and choose left to right, because it reads like a Western comic. Some of the demo pages on this site come from Pepper&Carrot.
The Kindle Store
Amazon's Kindle Store sells manga and comics that download straight to your Kindle, with nothing to convert. Those books are tied to your Amazon account, so MangaSendr can't open them, and it doesn't need to. Use MangaSendr for the DRM-free files you get elsewhere.
Sites we don't list, and why
Some websites post manga without the publisher's permission. We don't list them, link to them or recommend them. MangaSendr doesn't host or sell manga of any kind. It converts files you already have, and when you send one you confirm you have the right to convert it. Buying from the sources on this page pays the people who made the books.
Once you have the files
A Kindle can't open CBZ files on its own, and Amazon's email turns away files over 50 MB. How MangaSendr works shows what happens to each page, and the CBZ to Kindle guide covers the other ways to do it, including free desktop tools.
