Wink Comic books - Comical??

Does anyone know if the Comical comic book reader will run on the 902? It's a python version written for Linux, Windows and Mac, so I'm kinda hoping that it'll work.

Link: http://comical.sourceforge.net/

Thanks in advance,
Dan

The next step is to turn all these images in to a pageable format. Unfortunately, the PB902 doesn't support the standard .CBZ/.CBR formats. Since they are nothing more than glorified .ZIP/.RAR files, I think it would not be impossible to add support for them.
Is there an SDK somewhere, so that we can code it ourselves, or will this eventually be added to the 902?

Currently, a workaround is to create a PDF file containing all your images: this way you can paginate them.
