I've been collecting digital comics for a long time now (more than 10 years). My filing system for it is... dubious. I mean, at least each comic is in a folder with it's name in there. But after over 10 years, there's so many files.... trying to find anything is a headache. A lot of these comic titles aren't in English so I can't even search for them to find them.

After discovering Calibre for managing eBooks, I thought: What a great system! I can use this for my eComics too! I mean, I use Calibre to convert the comics I've bought from the Big A, so why not?

It does the management portion great, though the reader is absolutely worthless. Anything outside of cbz/cbr basically won't be viewed correctly. ePub as a comic format is like punching oneself "for fun".

I've been converting everything into cbz because I realized that, just in general, it's a better format than ZIP when it comes to how programs view sequential images in reader programs. But just about all my comics are in ZIP format....

I'm wondering: Am I doing this the hard way?

Technically it does work, but I've got a lot of comics and I might be dead before I'm finished at this rate.

So what I want to know, how are you managing your digital comics within Calibre? Or did you read this think "Why the heck would you use Calibre for this when XYZ does it so much better!" Please share with me your wisdom and knowledge and help find shortcuts so I don't slowly drive myself crazy trying to organize my comic collection....
