I did a thread search before posting this, and I see alot of articles on converting CBZ -> EPUB, but nothing on the reverse.
My use-case is that I have a bunch of digital comics I purchased from a vendor (we'll call them "Rainforest") and then stripped the DRM to get an EPUB. I'd prefer to just have them as generic CBR/CBZ files, though, so that I can leverage the dedicated comic-book reader apps on my tablet.
I've found that I can manually make a CBZ file from a comic source EPUB by just yanking the "Images" directory out of the extracted EPUB, zipping it up, and renaming it to a .CBZ extension. This is trivial to do, but quite time-consuming.
Has anyone created a plugin/conversion option that would let me do this within Calibre? I am sure this might result in some missing metadata, but I did try googling around, and as far as I'm aware there is no established "standard" for CBR/CBZ files for metadata files, etc. It looks like it's literally just a Zip Archive or RAR Archive of images, with the first chronologically-named image serving as the comic's cover.
If I'm wrong on this front, I'd appreciate any info about the CBR/CBZ standard.
