OK, this is my first post here in some years. The new Colorsoft got me back into using an ereader. Now I am confused because a lot of stuff I used to know seems to be no longer valid. Google is a joke for this sort of thing as asking a question shows very old stuff no longer valid of course. So....

1) I finally got Send to Kindle working. The main reason I bought the Colorsoft is I have many cbr files of very old PD color comic books or ones I purchased. I use kcc to convert from cbr to epub. But many of the ones I want to setup on the new Colorsoft for next season's beach expeditions are larger than 50 Megs and fail in send-to-kindle. Thank you, Amazon.

3) I went to Calibre. I was able to convert reconvert cbrs (thank you Kovid) to ePubs and Calibre does upload them to the Colorsoft ok. But without the covers. And the process takes a bit of time. Is there a way to batch process a collection of files? But, the main problem if I do it that way is that I cannot send them to the cloud library so it is only on the Colorsoft. But I know there is some sort of fix for the cover thing?

4) Is there any way to bypass using Send to Kindle and place the ePubs larger than 50 Megs in your Amazon cloud library?

5) I suppose there is no way to get the Colorsoft to simply read cbr files? That seems quite an oversight?

6) Way back when I used the Kindle paperwhite I just simply dropped mobi files (I guess such are now fossils) into a directory. Can I simply do that with the converted ePubs? And ending with a stupid question, I forgot how to do that and the directory structure seems a LOT different than it used to be. Where would I put the ePub files? Thanks and good to be here.
