For those who don't know, a CBZ is basically a collection of images stored in a ZIP file for convenience.

It features...
Support for CBZ/ZIP files
JPG/Gif and PNG content
Full Screen mode with Touch/Gesture based controls
Portrait/Landscape operation
Intelligent Auto-fit scaling option

It lacks...
Support for CBR/RAR files
Password protected CBZ/ZIP files

To use this software you must have the latest PyS60 runtimes installed (1.9.3 or higher)

It will only work on the 5800 or N97 as it requires the touchscreen.

All CBZ files should be stored on the memory card (E:) in a folder called "Comics"

Anyway, I hope you all enjoy. See the video below for instructions on use.

According to en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.cbz
.cbz is Comic Book Archive file or ComicBook Reader File is a type of archive file for the purpose of sequential viewing of images, especially comic books ...

Now, how to make the .cbz files???
Easy!!
Create zip file from your comics jpg, or png, or gif files.
If you like manga go to www.indowebster.com or onemanga.com, or mangatraders.com and get your favorite manga series there!!
Name your file with anything you like and make sure the extension is .zip (not rar only .zip. Because this software doesnt support .cbr)
Then rename the extension to .cbz
That's it... as simple as that!!!
