Interesting. One of the few comics viewers I've seen that advertises printing capability / quality.

Results of some digging:

There are some premium features that make me wonder what adware tendencies the regular download has:

Indeed, the installer offers to download some 3rd party software and toolbar. Installer = Adware, Portable version = freeware.

Haven't notice one yet. Some features are locked though to encorage donations but that is advertised on the Website.
Yes, there is a BossKey (hotkey X by default) and WinAmp/Media Player control.

GonVisor version 2.42.06 released. Has anyone checked the recent versions of GonVisor for portability? I am asking because in the change log for the latest version the developer says that:

– Do not force to associate cbr/cbz files in portable version.

I think that would affect some of the settings but not all.

Version 2.42.06 is an improvement but it still creates an empty folder in \AppData\Roaming\GonVisor + writes to the registry at HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\VB And VBA Program Settings\GonVisor
