Do you know what the problem is? Here is my properties.

I already checked out the quality with the normal individual files (after conversion) and I must say the quality is fabulous. If I could convert the whole .cbz into a .epub and make it work it would be perfect.
Your properties look good. The problem is most likely Canti isn't producing an .epub compatible with your ereader. I had a difficult time writing the .epub code. When I followed the .epub standard exactly they wouldn't appear on my iPad in iBooks, so I ended up tweaking the code to make the epubs iPad compatible. Those tweaks probably broke .epub support on other ereader devices. My advice is to output to .cbz format to get all the image processing done, then pass the output through Calibre to produce the .epub.

Out of curiosity, why do you want epub format for comics? Image folders, .zip/.cbz, or .pdf allow a lot more flexibility since epub readers don't seem to handle images or zooming very well. After playing with epub manga on the iPad I abandoned its development.
