I have added a book in pdf format to Calibre. I am trying to add a zip file to the book as well but Calibre keeps changing the format to CBZ. The zip file just contains a couple of jpegs. I would have been happy to not have to zip up the jpegs but Calibre only allows one file of each format.

On the topic of format limitations, why does Calibre not allow more than one file of the same format. I have books in PDF format that also have a solutions manual in PDF format that I would like to include with the book. I have some books in PDF format that are split into Chapter 1.pdf, Chapter 2.pdf etc. Some books come with two zip files (eg code and data set or code and executables). Sure I can zip these files up but it is more work.
