You can try Kindle Create, or the older Kindle Comic Creator.
Unpack the CBR/CBZ so you can add the image files with one of the tools. If they aren't .jpg, covert them to .jpg.
Kindle Comic Creator will output KF8 (with .mobi file extension, which you could change to .azw3).
Kindle Create will output KPF. You can use calibre KFX Import plugin's command line interface to convert this to FXL ePub or PDF. I think Send To Kindle should convert ePub to a functional KF8 file.
I am trying things with a manga CBZ downloaded from archive.org.
Kindle Comic Creator is more 'one step' (creates KF8 with specified metadata),
but seems to choke on high resolution manga files (1245x3056). Not sure how much reduction is necessary, but it only lets you input 960 x 1280 as the canvas dimensions (though it handles larger images as per previous experiments).
Kindle Create handles the high resolution images without any trouble. Kindle Create + KFX Input doesn't generate Kindle format, so additional steps are needed to add, metadata and convert from FXL ePUB or PDF to a Kindle format.
Send To Kindle will handle either FXL ePub or PDF (and let you set Title/Author), but I think ePub should yield better results. Not sure panel view information (if any) survives. If not, perhaps KFX Input can be enhanced to do this.
Not sure if calibre will do a decent conversion to Kindle format, as it doesn't have official support for FXL ePub.
That said, I think either is a viable alternative to Kindle Comic Converter. My preference would be Kindle Create.
