The manual is helpful and being able to rename files/change extensions is definitely something that the user can be expected to know. Renaming files is more a function of your operating system and it's unfair to expect calibre developers to include a manual for how to use your operating system, too.

The purpose of the Calibre manual is to teach you how to use Calibre, not teach you how to use your computer. Changing the extension of a file is not a Calibre function; it's a rather elementary computer skill.

Calibre handles multiple book formats, what you describe is not an existing book format.

Calibre is not an ebook creation tool. You might want to google create cbz book for info on how to create books in this format.

Calibre's manual is limited to using calibre, managing ebooks, converting ebooks, sending ebooks to devices, but not creating ebooks.

Creating ebooks is quite a lot of work, the Mobileread wiki has some info and links to programs that could help.

Good Luck.
