It's open source and totally free. If anyone wants it you can find it here:

I used Will's program to convert some CBR and CBZ files to EPUB format and read them on my Augen TB. It worked well, even considering the tall and narrow (800 x 480) display format on the TB.

The previous poster talking about the CBR and CBZ formats was correct:
Both formats are a series of JPG images compressed using the RAR (CBR) or ZIP (CBZ) format. Renaming CBR files with a .RAR extension, or CBZ to a .ZIP extension allows them to be opened using standard RAR or ZIP programs.
