Might be nice if you couldn't do this rapid clicking, and have to load one to be able to press again.
One thing I'm really missing is a way to jump to first comic for example. Cause I've made some new discoveries in comics that seem good, and I'd like to read them from the start. But no way in hell am I clicking back 3000 times for example

I really like the rapid clicking though. If you want to read backwards for example, you can go ape on the back button, and then do something else while the widget loads the comics. Unfortunately it freezes hildon-home so you'll have to use the menu to launch applications while it's loading.

I'll try to implement some threading to make it load in the background. ~~The widget uses very little cpu~~ no cpu while idle (10-15% cpu when loading comics), so I'm not exactly sure why the ui becomes less responsive. I guess it could simply have to do with memory and rendering. The core of it is put together rather hastily since I originally just made it for myself. Making it more efficient is top priority.
