Unfortunately, it only exists on Windows and I own a Mac.
I own a MacPro, I have a separated partition with Windows 8 for Comicrack and other things.

About your configuration, you should use MyReadings and DS411j on your Asus 101, in that way you won´t need to download any files!

There is no way to add metadata to the file itself. (ZIP, CBZ, CBR)...
When I import, Calibre tries his best but most of the time I get name of the book and name of the author inversed...

A long way to go to get to an easy comics world ?
Manga usually comes like images inside a folder, a really pain. You´re right, the first step is zip them (use CBZ, not CBR, CBR don´t save the metadata inside the file).
Try to install Comicvine plugin in Calibre and read about CBC format.

Together gonna get this!
