I have never heard of ADE supporting CBZ, so that probably explains why it doesn't work.

For any book format without DRM, you can just copy it to the device.

The reason I don’t want to update the firmware (outside of calibre) is that I’ve read reviews saying that the new firmware drains the battery fast (I’m talking about the Kobo Aura one LE, not the forma btw)
That isn't my experience with any of my Kobo devices. But, it also depends on what you are comparing to. What firmware are you currently running?

And, for curiosity, where are the reviews? Or are you referring to discussions here?

As for not installing the newer calibre, from what I’ve read, the new version has issues with displaying and side loading custom covers (I’m using the 3.41.3 64bit version).
As a heavy calibre user that has been updating through all versions, I have no idea what you are talking about. Unless you are referring to the changes in the viewer that came in with version 4. And those have been fixed. But, if you can point me to a thread discussing the problems, I'd like to check.
