As was mentioned, though, comic books (as opposed to manga) are usually in a larger format, and I imagine the writing would be difficult to read. You might as well give it a shot though. I imagine I will eventually.
I eventualy found that pocket book sized manga cbr files convert to a nice pdf on the kobo.
