Kindle Comic Margins

What current CBZ -> AZW3 in calibre looks like [link]
What it looks like from Kindle Comic Converter [link]

Justification:
Kindle Comic Converter (KCC) - is generally slow, supports few formats and does not integrate well into the Calibre ecosystem. It's generally painful to use at scale.

Todo:
- Modify the CBZ input to have a "Kindle margins remove" or create a separate input just for this. It should maintain all of the CBZ input functionality. Any other implementations are good as long as they make sense and allow for/include the original CBZ functionality.

- Investigating the KCC python code and the output itself might prove insightful. Example of .epub output from KCC [xhtml], css, content.opf

- Read Amazon's documentation

Goal:
A publically available plugin which essentially replaces KCC by implementing CBZ conversion that does not produce extra margins, as shown in the links above. The plugin should not have any breaking bugs. Maintenance is not expected.

Reward: €100 (payable no sooner than 9/01/2023) + €50 (if W/B margins functionality from KCC implemented).
Awarded upon successful completion of the plugin.
Award email: jaroslawjanas.dev@gmail.com (email me before publishing it)
To give this posting validity, here is my GitHub profile

Note: If this remains uncompleted for a more extended period of time, I will do it myself, but it might take a considerable amount of time since I am completely unfamiliar with the Calibre codebase. I'd instead give someone the money since it will cost me more (in time) to do it myself.

If the plugin/behaviour is added without claiming the reward, it will go towards funding the Calibre project.

Feel free to email me with questions.
