calibre supports cbr and cbz input for converting comics. It has a number of options for transformations and if you use the cybook profile will size the images in the PDF output to the size of the Cybook's screen.

Another useful feature of calibre is it will generate the thumbnails using your computer when using send to device. This way you don't have to wait for the Cybook to generate them. The Cybook's cpu is no where near as fast as your computer.
Like
1) Size.
2) Weight.
3) Screen clarity. It has one of the whitest screens which I prefer.
4) Battery life. I can go a week without charging and I read anywhere from 2 - 6 hours a day.
Hate
1) Cheaply made. The battery cover has broken once and it feels like it will break just by holding it.
2) Lack of many cheap accessories. I made my own cover because I was afraid of breaking it.
3) It freezes all the time. Hard lock up that requires the reset button on the back to be pressed.
4) Takes forever to turn on. I have to power it off after each use otherwise the freezing issue is worse.
Don't care
1) Folder support
2) Format support. calibre solves this for me and if I run into conversion issues I fix them.
