I uploaded new versions of the program to the first post, including a version for the latest firmware version 6 devices. I know that those devices handle CBR/CBZ archives out of the box and that most people will be happy with that, but I still use it myself, and thought I should provide it to anyone else that still wants to use it on the new devices.

Besides support for the new devices, I made other changes as well. I replaced the OpenDirectorySelector widget with the OpenContents widget when you start the program from the Applications tab. That makes it easier to read and select items on high res devices, and also makes it possible to select archive files that way. The old way only let you select directories with images. I also changed the sorting algorithm to handle decimal numbers in image file names. Thanks to @i3ook for both suggestions. The status bar is temporarily enabled when OpenContents is called to show the page tabs and make it easier to navigate between tabs using the tiny icons in the top corners. If there are no images to display, a message is popped up for three seconds and then the application closes (to avoid just showing an empty screen and confusing the reader). Fixed some issues with saving the book cover on recent devices which cached the covers; the cached covers were being overwritten in certain cases.

The application for firmware version 6 devices seems to work correctly, except for the handling of 7zip and tar archives. I'll continue to look into it, but it may take a while to fix. If you only read CBR/CBZ archives, then you don't have to worry about that.
