Hi All,

I converted a bunch of CBZ/CBR files to LRF with the most excellent ComicLRF extension.

But I then had an absolute pig of a time getting all of the LRF files on my memory stick. (around 300 files (the entire Berserk manga catalogue))

I had all manner of problems, lost tags, files not recognised, oh what a laugh.

So I managed to boil this issue down to too many files, so I wentto re-converge all my single editions into large volumes, and realised I'd deleted the original CBZ files, doh, doh, doh.

No problem I thought, I'll just convert my LRF files to MOBI or HTML, extract the images, then remerge them with ComicLRF. But this step seems to be impossible.

I've tried Calibre but calibre says there is no 'suitable source format' probably because LRF is a final format ready for the device.

ABC Amber converter wont do it.
Calibre wont do it.
I cant find LRF2HTML from the old Calibre versions.

Is there any other option?, if I can get LRF to ANY archive format then I can just pull the images. ANY way at all?, this cant be this diffecult.
