This plugin will copy it and rename the extension to CBZ / CBR. As such I did a quick plugin to make the process of converting comics / manga and sending them on devices smoother.Ĭonvert all your non-cbz and non-cbr comics / manga to ZIP through calibre. Calibre already had an output profile for ZIP, but not CBZ, and there didn't seem to be any utility to quickly switch the extension before sending to a device.

Whenever I zoomed on an image, the text was unclear and on my Kobo Clara HD I couldn't even zoom on it because it seems to only allow zooming on CBZ / CBR files. I made this plugin because I was annoyed at the very low resolution of comics / manga that were converted (from kindle / AZW) to EPUB through calibre. I have no idea if it does what you want, but it can do things that are not implied by either the name, or description.Simple plugin that will convert all ZIP / RAR format books in the active library to CBZ /CBR automatically each time a book is added / imported / converted. If I'm wrong on this front, I'd appreciate any info about the CBR/CBZ standard. It looks like it's literally just a Zip Archive or RAR Archive of images, with the first chronologically-named image serving as the comic's cover. Has anyone created a plugin/conversion option that would let me do this within Calibre? I am sure this might result in some missing metadata, but I did try googling around, and as far as I'm aware there is no established "standard" for CBR/CBZ files for metadata files, etc.

This is trivial to do, but quite time-consuming. I've found that I can manually make a CBZ file from a comic source EPUB by just yanking the "Images" directory out of the extracted EPUB, zipping it up, and renaming it to a. I'd prefer to just have them as generic CBR/CBZ files, though, so that I can leverage the dedicated comic-book reader apps on my tablet. My use-case is that I have a bunch of digital comics I purchased from a vendor (we'll call them "Rainforest") and then stripped the DRM to get an EPUB. I did a thread search before posting this, and I see alot of articles on converting CBZ -> EPUB, but nothing on the reverse.
