Plan to use KCC on a Colorsoft?

OK, I notice that it looks like Ciromattia (author of KCC) has not been here for some years? So, I figured I would share this with all.

I have a ColorSoft on order from Amazon but it apparently will not have CBR/CBZ format support. For a color reader that seems a bit (a lot) strange as trillions of comic book files use that format. I asked over on the Kindle Support Forums run by Amazon. A couple community members there told me about Kindle Comic Reader aka KCC.

I downloaded the most current 6.2 version from Github. Installation went fine on my Intel Mac. It does convert any CBR/CBZ file (that I own anyway) to EPUB. But it gives three EPUB formats as possible choices in its dropdown menus. The simple EPUB choice always results in an email from Amazon that the format has been delivered to my library but it is not proper. That email lists maybe fifteen or so possible internal problems in that EPUB format none of which seem to me to be possible in a comic book file. The other two choices are EPUB (Calibre KFX) and EPUB (Small Format). So far I have had pretty good luck with the Small Format. It does transfer to my library and from there to my Scribe, my PW SIG and to all my iPhone and/or iPad Kindle programs (those in color).

So I would feel pretty good. Except for those Amazon letters. Is the Small Format the best choice? So far that has worked but it's worrying me. Anyone here do new profiles to install in KCC? Will there be one for the Colorsoft? Right now I set KCC profile to Kindle PW 11 with other choices being color mode on, Stretch/Upscale and Cropping Mode.

I know the ColorSoft will not be out for a couple weeks. But lacking hardware to actually smoke test on does anyone have any ideas as to how to best use KCC (or whatever you suggest) to transfer about 400 or so files? (And these BTW are all PD or free-use files or ones I bought and paid for and then took care of the DRM thing) Thanks!
