1) What resolution are the images at (the bigger the better for my TV)?
They're larger than will fit on your TV at full resolution. I believe that they're slightly shorter than 2000 pixels tall. You'd need a 4K TV to see an entire image at full resolution. If you turned your 1080p TV (or monitor) on its side, you'd get close to seeing the whole thing, but it would be a tad too wide. If you open up a chapter in your browser and select "Original Size" for the image, you won't be able to see the whole thing on your TV, and you can see how much bigger it is than your TV, though there are options to make it fit or to be shown at a particular percentage of the original size.
Honestly ... in my opinion ... if you want to prevent downloading and force online reading of any type of manga (be it action or hentai, comedy or whatever) you must first optimize your reader.
You've got the performance down, now since you'll be overhauling things anyway it's time to get the actual viewing/displaying right.
A basic functionality that any off-line image viewer has is full screen fitting (most importantly in height). I don't get why it's missing in many online viewers I've come across.
You can put the browser to use the full screen simply hitting F11 (FireFox), but the image viewing page still includes a bunch of useless stuff wasting precious screen real estate.
Firstly the Fakku header (no offense and it's fine during regular site navi, but while reading it's in the way, not to mention it's stickied there), then the page navigation top and bottom (once again unnecessary while reading page by page since you simply click or could use left/right arrows). The current 'Fit' option results in quite a small image since it fits the whole page including top and bottom navigation (even leaving a ton of unused space at the bottom, basically wasting 60% of the screen's height).
Basically ... not using the fit option results in constantly having to scroll down since 'next page' also keeps navigating to the top of the page where the header and page navi is once again in the way resulting in again more scrolling.
I'd ya add a 'read full screen' button which'll allow full screen reading to make it at least bearable reading online.
Compare it to any online video player ... the view full screen's also pretty much an expected functionality by now.
Also ... nice endeavor, but sure is very expensive $13/m over 12 months. Well ...
