Glo, plus two Touch devices loaded with books and manga.

I used the plugin KoboTouchExtended (suggested by davidfor upthread) to load books from Calibre, and just dragged and dropped cbz files onto the device after optimising and processing with KCC.

I can report that family are pleased with their Kobo readers and all happily reading away.
The last line is the important thing.

For the CBZ, calibre can handle them and send them to the device. It won't touch them in anyway, so you can use KCC on the files and put that copy back in the library. The advantage of using calibre for this, is that on the next connect, it can update the metadata on the device to show the comic title, author and other details to match what is in your calibre library. The device doesn't read this from the CBZ or CBR and just uses the filename as the title.
