Comic/Manga conversion with Calibre

ChaosTwin · 04-27-2011, 02:13 AM

Hi.

Could you please tell me, where I could find this feature in Calibre?

I got many Mangas which I'd like to convert into either epub or lrf.
I'm using a Sony PRS-505 for reading.

What are the best adjustments for a good reading experience?

I tried several other tools but got heavy problems with the sharpness of the texts in the speech balloons.

Thank you very much
Shounen

Set your output profile to the profile for your reader. If the book is a CBZ or CBR and it is a single book in the archive just convert to EPUB.

Thanks.

I just tried a cbz file which consists of folders (volumes) and subfolders (chapters) but Calibre ignores all the folders and sorts all images like they are in a single list.

any clue for this issue?

Multipl books in sub folders (sub folders in general) within the archive are not supported. To ensure the images are sorted in the correct order they need leading 0s if they are numbered names. E.G. 01.jpg, 02.jpg, ... 10.jpg
