Since I can just put these into calibre, I'm a little bit confused if and why I should convert them to tar before I do. Can anyone offer some advice? Am I not seeing a problem that might occur in simply sticking with ZIP and RAR?

Thanks a lot for your patience and wisdom!

You could also convert them to for example mba, that way you can directly play them.
