kitepdf-cbz

A reader for CBZ comic archives: a ZIP of images becomes a document with one page per image.

Pages come in natural filename order (page2 before page10), and sizes are read from image headers so opening does not decode the archive. Root-level ComicInfo.xml supplies title, writers, language, reading direction and page bookmarks to the common document API. CbzDocument.comicMetadata also exposes series, issue number, summary and every declared scalar field and page attribute from the ComicInfo schema. Metadata is loaded lazily; a damaged or missing file does not prevent reading the comic.

Packaging noise (Thumbs.db, hidden files) is skipped. It brings no EPUB engine with it. Pair it with kitepdf or add it on its own.
