Information: The Comic Book Archive format
A short tutorial for those who haven't used .cbr or .cbz files.
I am not a programmer but I do have some knowledge, none of it was needed for this process. IT'S SIMPLE! The files in question are easy enough to use for anybody after getting acquainted with a few easy steps.
What are cbr and cbz files?
Some comics,magazines and books come in a format called comic book archives. Commonly these are .cbr and .cbz files (there are a couple other more rare types which I do not post for download - see the wiki link below for more info on those other types.) These files are easily opened using a 'comic book reader' program for EX:CDisplay or similar program. I personally like the 'CDisplay' cause it's a tiny program without any spyware and bugs . It also uses little memory.
CDisplay is available for free here:
or
These files also can easily be opened with programs you should already have. You just need to change the name as follows:
Right click on the name of the file and choose 'rename'. Then change the file suffix as follows.
.CBR file change .cbr to .rar
example : Comicbook.cbr is renamed as Comicbook.rar
.CBZ file change .cbz to .zip
example : Comicbook.cbz is renamed as Comicbook.zip
After renaming it just unzip or unrar and you'll have all the jpgs in it's own folder.
See it's easy as pie! Now go download to your hearts content!
