It's a lot of images but they're low quality and downsampled (cbz is about 50megs) and it seemed to perform as badly as one that was 200megs.
Didn't have this problem with epub formatted comics but losing the bottom 50 or so pixels to the entirely pointless page count (why can't Kobo make this optional?) is not ideal as every pixel counts for text clarity in manga.
Any advice to stop it? Is it a case of splitting up manga/comic so there's only a handful of chapters per book or is it a problem with Glos?

While I don't read manga or much else using CBR/CBZ format, my daughter does read a lot of them and has mentioned no issues. The only time I remember that she had an issue was immediately after she purchased the Harry Potter books from the Pottermore site and got some very strange symptoms. A factory reset, firmware upgrade and reload of her sideloaded content corrected that issue with very slow opening -- her Touch took about 30 seconds to open a book the first time it was opened or after a power off and she screamed loudly for tech support. I think this was related to her not having ejected the Kobo before pulling the USB cable.
