Virtual Panels in Comics and Manga 5.6
The Virtual Panels feature is activated for comics and manga books in the absence of publisher-provided
panels. The RegionMagnification metadata is used to identify whether the publisher has provided
panel information. If the publisher has designed the content with panels, the Kindle Virtual Panel view is
not enabled.
By default, every page is divided into four panels based on the primary-writing-mode value. The
examples below indicate the order of the panels.
Example:
Portrait mode:
Horizontal-lr Horizontal-rl
13
