I saved the AZW3 to zip then renamed it to CBZ then installed and enabled the Embed Comic Metadata plug in and finally I changed the Comic input in settings so it does not convert color to B/W. When I convert the CBZ to Epub or PDF and open it in the viewer the cover is in color but the body is in B/W. If I open the CBZ in the viewer it is all color. What am I doing wrong? Thanks.
I would suggest trying the KindleUnpack plugin rather than using calibre's builtin conversion to convert from azw3 to epub. As an alternative, you could also use the KindleUnpack plugin to unpack the azw3 and then use the images from that to create your CBZ file.
