Sorry for the delayed reply... you've probably tested it out by now and answered your own question, but...
yes... CBZs work on a kindle without doing anything to them.
I'm yet to test whether its better to resize the images (see
here or do a search for MANGLE) before using them, but they work fine. I guess resizing them would help bring the file size down a bit (eg. Scott Pilgrim vols 1-6 is 570MB in total, without resizing), because the "working symbol" at the top of the screen can take a little while (5-10 seconds) to load and index the CBZ when they are big files... but that doesn't worry me much... the files work fine once they've loaded (except for what I mentioned before, in that when opening a CBZ, the last image can appear in the side margins... MENU and BACK quick refresh solves that one-off glitch though)
Also, when reading a CBZ on your Kindle, if you click MENU, you'll get the standard image viewer options like ENABLE/DISABLE FULL SCREEN, STOP/START DITHERING etc... although... I have found that when I reopen a CBZ comic and it is set to FULL SCREEN, I'll still have the top titlebar up... all it means is that you have to disable and then re-enable the full screen viewing to fix it... another little glitch, but who cares?! kindles can view CBZ comics... it's frakking awesome
