Here's what I currently do:

  • Get all the book files (including the cover) into one folder
  • Make an images-only PDF from that folder
  • Add the PDF to the book's entry in calibre
I would skip the PDF phase and simply add a zip of images or CBZ to calibre. I believe if the zip file contains only images it will become a cbz file when added to calibre. Now just find a decent CBZ reader for the Ipad. All of the PDF steps seem overly complicated to me when there is already a standard CBR/CBZ comic book format.
