Interesting. I used to use the Chrome plugin to download my purchases from Comixology in cbz format but, with the merging into Amazon, I can still do the direct download from the Amazon website ( I don't use the kindle app, I read ebooks on my kindle Oasis. I only read comics/magazines on my laptop and I use Document Viewer for those, not calibre. My laptop runs on Linux Mint, so others' mileage may vary. I also use the DeDRM Tools to strip DRM when I import into calibre.). The downloads from Amazon are in azw3 format. I used Kovid's recommendation in the thread I linked to to unpack the book into its individual jpgs, then recombined them into cbz format, and the quality looked the same as the comics I downloaded from Comixology. It's a bit of work to go through, but it was worth it to me to have my comics in cbz rather than azw3 format.
