I use the app on windows 10 called "All Ebooks Reader"? but I need some help.

I use this app to read my ebooks mostly "CBZ" which are my mangas. So far its not to bad but here is the problem. When I click to open to manga I have it like this. "Downloads Folder>Manga>"Manga By title (In unzipped folder). Then I zip each folder and then I delete the "Unzipped Folder".

And then I go to the Calbire and I take the "Zipped" folders and make "CBZ Folders" That I save inside the original folder like this "Downloads>Manga> Manga By Title. And then I have 2 folders I have Zipped and then "CBZ". And then I remove the Zipped.

But here is the problem when I have a "CBZ" zipped folder I have (3) Files inside 1 "CBZ" and then 1 JPG and 1 OPF. And when I open the "All Ebooks Reader" it only shows the "CBZ" file since that is all it will read.

What is the best way to make the selection easier.

Example I have (37) manga for a specific "title" and the manga is dead now there have been no new ebooks for a while now so I know I wont need to edit this again but I still want it easier to select the ebooks when I want to read them.

When I look in the folder for the "Manga" I see (37) Folders each ebook has its own folder. And I need to click each folder to open a ebook and then I need to click the "CBZ". Its time consuming needing to open each folder.

It there a easier way to have all of the "CBZ Files" in one folder or would that mess things up.

I like to have the cover art and stuff for my "Tablet" and "Phone" but each ebook has there art and info. Would this be bad if I place all the files in 1 folder the "CBZ" the "JPG" and then the "OPF". Or is there a easier way.

I'm probley asking this in the wrong section but please try to understand I only use "Calibre" as a ebook editor and I normally open my ebooks from the "Ebooks" folder inside the downloads folder. I still need to find a way to better organize my ebooks.

But for now I would like to make it as easy as I can to read them. And so far the best app I could find was "All Ebooks Reader". for the "CBZ" files. There are no ads and it was free.

Look at 'Open With' plugin (multiple choices and customizable) or Change the setting: Preferences: behavior: Use Internal viewr for: (remove the tick for those you want the OS application to handle)

If you add a ZIP'd folder of images to calibre it will 'convert' it to a CBZ and it will use the first image as its book cover (cover.jpg).

The metadata.opf file is 'peculiar' to calibre, it is used to rebuild the library database if it gets 'damaged' or 'lost'. It is unlikely your Phone and Tablet could make any use of it.

If you make "All Books Reader (ABR)" the default program to open CBZ files in the operating system, and you uncheck Preferences->Behaviour->Use internal viewer for: CBZ then calibre will use ABR when you view the CBZ.

Is there a easier way to have all of the "CBZ Files" in one folder or would that mess things up.

If the folder of CBZs was in a calibre library folder, yes it would - mess things up. Genuine question - why do you want to do that?
