Noob questions about reading comic books on a tablet
I've been using Kindle/Calibre for a long time, so I'm familiar with managing ebooks. Now that I bought a 10" tablet, I have some specific questions about reading comic books on the device.

I've been reading comics on my PS3, so I had to unzip all the .CBR/.CBZ files into directories full of .JPGs. Would it be better to re-zip them back into .CBRs for viewing on the tablet? Is .CBR a special format or just a .ZIP with a re-named extension? I unzipped everything with WINRAR, but I'd prefer to have everything back in .CBR.

Also, what is the go-to app for reading comics? For ebooks, Calibre is the king, so I'm hoping there's a comic book equivalent.
