Need help with formatting manga series

deathrioter · 01-16-2012, 01:31 AM

hey everyone, i apologize if this seems dumb but im new with the kobo and need help.

i recently downloaded a big manga series. they are all in jpeg format. when i put the file in with all the jpegs every page is read as a separate book.

what would i do to get it all together and read it like a proper book?

What reader or device are you trying to use? Edit: Never mind. I see you're using a Kobo. That should support CBR and CBZ.

Comics are usually packaged as CBR or CBZ files. For devices or readers that can't read those, you can put them in a PDF instead.

If you have bunch of jpeg files, just number them in correct order and create ZIP archive of them with the extension .cbz, or RAR archive with extension .cbr.

Then your reader can read it.

Edit. Probably your downloads were already zip or rar archives, and you only extracted them. So just put the cbr or cbz archives directly to you reader without extracting them and you should be OK
