Thanks Marcos. I've added this suggestion to the bottom of the Magazines
page now. Would it be possible for you to check the text is correct, as I
have never used comic book readers before.

I get enough people asking me how to open a PDF without adding to
the proliferation of little known formats!
I understand. My suggestion was just a simple trick that may be useful
for certain users; I didn't mean you to publish CBZ files.
Anyway, CBR (images packed with RAR), CBZ (images packed with ZIP) and
other CB* flavours are just ordinary compressed archives with a
different filename extension; they are the standard way to distribute
scanned comics, but the content makes no difference, it can be a
magazine, a book, a photo album... There are free readers around for the
most common platforms.
Maybe a note in your page about that possibility would save you some
questions?: "If you rename the '.zip' filename extension to '.cbz', you
will be able to read the files with a comic book reader program such as
MComix, QComicBook or cbrPager (for Linux); or [I don't know, but there
are a lot of them] (for Windows); or [...] (for OSX)..." But maybe you
would receive new interesting questions about how to change the filename
extension... :)
