I would really like to see CC add some more customizability of which readers you prefer, and also some expansion to formats to include some popular comic formats.

I am confused. CC already allows you to specify a default reader per book type (extension), and you can put each extension into a different folder in case the reader app wants that. What more should it to do?

For example, I have CBZ and CBR files, which you cannot open via CC because no reader app appears that is compatible with that format. unless, and I suspect Calibre is at fault here, for some reason a .mobi format is associated with that comic.

Have you told CC that it can manage CBZ and and CBR? Settings -> Book formats & folders (the first preference in the settings display).

There are lots of readers that claim to handle CBZ. I haven't tried any of them, and I don't know if they "advertize" (in Android) that they handle CBZ, but I strongly suspect that they do.

every cbz or cbr file with correct metadata information in CC opens (in mobi) to a single file which is unrelated to the actual title chosen in CC.

If you have not told CC that it can manage the comic book formats, then calibre might be auto-converting the books. The process is:
- You tell CC what formats it is allowed to receive
- CC tells calibre what formats it is allowed to send
- If the format of the book to be sent is not in that list, calibre offers to auto-convert the book. You can ask calibre to do the auto-convert without prompting.

My guess is that you have not added CBZ etc and calibre is auto-converting.

As for opening the wrong file, that is strange. I suspect that this is the reader app being your friend, opening the last book it knows about instead of opening the the book it is being told to open. Kindle for Android does this.

edit: I suspect the presence of the .mobi for comic files is in fact a calibre companion phenomenon, as my method for adding those to the n7 was via wireless content server through cc. I don't maintain mobi versions of comics, period. I suspect that the reason for those taking so long (many hours) to download to the n7 was that they were triggering a conversion to .mobi as part of the download request.

As noted above, they easily could be triggering a convert.

I don't know why, but something like 40 cbz books in calibre companion all open to the same one .mobi.

CC has zero capability to convert files, and it never changes extensions. If it is seeing .mobi, then calibre is sending .mobi.

To reiterate, and at the risk of , I think that the root of the problem is that you haven't told CC that it is managing the comic book formats.

I love the grouping drawer
I love the cover view
I am seriously in love with the fact that I can adjust the sizes and, for my huge library, view a 9x8 grid and fling my way through with virtually no lag (yes, I can see some covers populating as I fling, but hey -- there's no wait and its fast fast fast).

I really liked the original wood shelf background, tried the light gray which was snazzy, but have settled on the latest dark gray shelf.

Not new to the beta but awesome about calibre, I love being able to connect as a wireless device to the content server. Super cool.

Very glad you like it.
