How long do you read them at a time with the small text? As I said, it's do-able, but I'm just worried about my eye-sight. I do like being able to see the whole page at once.

They look good on computer screens, but not so much on the 505 when you're in landscape mode as you've noticed. Assuming you're not the one scanning the comic, my only suggestions are either to live with it, or, like you were doing, split them yourself for viewing.
Is there a better way to convert them than using comiclrf? From what I understand, comiclrf resizes and greyscales them.

What sort of comics do you read? Do you read any comics after the mid-90's (i.e. color intensive comics)? So far, I've just been reading the less color-defined comics and they work pretty well (minus the color of course)
