i would like to have e-reader support for cbr,cbz

i believe for what i read is that cbr,cbz are just zipped folders with jpegs in it.

You were right, it is just a zip, rar or tar file with images. I build a very basic comic reader with support for cbr and cbz files.

I only tested with 2 cbr files and they both loaded fine, although a bit slower then I would like.

I didn't create an official release yet, but if you want to update and try out a few and let me know how they load that would be great.

Included in release v1.4.11

This was just enough to get the comic reader off the ground. It's not something I'm very familiar with, but I would like to continue improving it so if you have ideas please share. Maybe open a discussion or add to the experimental features discussion #75.

I thought this web based comic reader was well-done, so I will probably get inspiration from that.
