Hey all,
I am completely in love with Calibre and hardly use Sony Reader software at all (only for my standby screens) for my new 950.
I have a few questions regarding cbr and cbz files and Calibre:
#1: It seems when I import the files only the cbz's have covers. All of the cbr's I input are defaulted to Calibre's generic cover. Which is then changed to a metadata cover when I convert the file to epub. Is it possible to get Calibre to read the first image of the cbr? Or do I manually have to add it to the metadata before converting?
#2: I have found that with some bad scans, the margins are not trimmed in the conversion as well as I would like them. Is there a way to manually set the amount trimmed from the borders of the images in the conversion process? Or should I resort to cropping the files in a separate program before importing them?

Many thanks for the program, Kovidgoyal! And thanks in advance to anyone who can assist me in my plight.
-Matt
