Thank you for your help ken, I'll try the program later. I renamed the file to cbz, but still does not work.

The EASIEST way to verify the internal format is to open each of the files in a TEXT editor (ie Notepad or similar). A cbr / rar file starts with the eyecatcher Rar! and a cbz / zip file starts with PK.

Please try these 4 attached CBR / CBZ files and see which (if any) appear

GRR... One can't attach cbr / cbz files here directly, so please download and try the 4 files at this location.

My testing (albeit with a beta firmware version) shows that only xkcd_1.cbr and xkcd_2.cbz work. Why you ask?

Simply put xkcd_3 is actually NOT a cbz but a cbr (ie internal format is RAR not ZIP).

Likewise xkcd_4 is actually NOT a cbr but a cbz (ie internal format is ZIP not RAR).
The cbr file I tried to put in the reader, it starts with Rar! in the text editor.

I tried the four files, but only the number 2 it recognizes. What I can do?
Thank you for your help.
