That comics trick also works with ComicZeal. Back when I had my iPad jailbroken I would use iFunBox to copy .cbz files directly into ComicZeal's file share, then when I would start ComicZeal it would unpack and organize the imported comics as usual.

Not sure why you would need an external drive for comics though. I have a lot of manga and I can fit all I want on the iPad no problem. You must have a crazy large digital comic collection.

You don't need to jailbreak to copy videos from an external drive through the camera connection kit. All you have to do is create a DCIM folder in the root of the external drive and place all video files in there. Of course the imported videos are placed in the Photos app instead of the Videos app, but I think that if you wanted to import directly into the Videos app on a jb iPad it would take more than just copying the video to the correct folder... you would probably have to update a toc file as well.
