Thanks so much for your reply! It does look like direct CBZ works just fine.

Just using KCC and sideloading the output files (.kepub) are not recognized by the device. So scratch that.

However, KCC with Libra 2 selected and stretch/upscale partially-checked PLUS Calibre Kepub conversion via KTE makes the Manga pages fill the full screen (which is a nice feature).

Tl;dr the options are sideload CBZ directly (easy), or use KCC to convert to epub + Calibre KTE to send to device (full-screen).

Re. Metadata, I can bulk-edit and add author, title, but volume numbers, etc are a bit of a chore especially for manga where I have tons of volumes like One Piece. Kind of like managing series for books, but the title is all the same which makes it a bit trickier if that makes sense. My kids are into Manga, and it’s all new to me how to manage/organize it vs., books!
