Here's Canti v1.5
My parents surprised me with an iPad (they are awesome!) so now I have one to test manga on. Manga looks great on the iPad, and I've changed the defaults in the .properties file to reflect the best settings for the iPad. Also, for iPad users I recommend getting a reader app such as Goodreader for pdf manga, or better yet ComicZeal for cbz manga (that's what I use). I wrote a comparison of those two apps here:

New to version 1.5:
-
Single folder mode
Instead of batch processing a collection of organized manga folders, you can specify a single folder to process.
This works transparent to the user. When you specify -parent_folder it checks whether there are subfolders (batch mode) or not (single folder mode) and then continues working accordingly.
-
Full size images
Instead of specifying a width and height to resize images to, now you can leave the images the same size as the source images.
I recommend using this setting for the iPad since the larger images are better to zoom on, and the iPad makes it easy to zoom on images.
This is set up in the .properties file by setting "width" and/or "height" to -1
-
Can disable auto rotate for portrait images
Before I had portrait images automatically rotated to landscape mode by default, but now you can turn this off if you want.
This is set up in the .properties file.
-
Binding for epub
Now you can bind multiple manga folders into a single epub.
Note that epub is still in BETA. I can sync the epubs using iTunes, but I can't get them to appear in iBooks. If you know how to fix this please pm me on mobileread.com (username "lilman").
Enjoy and let me know if it works for you
-Update-
I got an epub to show up in iBooks by passing it through calibre first. I could look through the calibre epub and see what changes need to be made, but holy crap does epub manga suck. A large chunk of the screen gets wasted by the virtual book, leaving the manga page much smaller in the middle. As far as I could tell you can't even zoom in on the images. When reading in Goodreader or ComicZeal, the manga page takes up the entire screen, and you can easily zoom when needed. I will probably update the epub code in v1.6 so that it works in iBooks (just for completeness sakes), but I can't imagine anyone wanting to read manga that way.
