## Description

Kindle Comic Converter (KCC) is a tool that transforms comic and manga archive files (CBZ, CBR, and similar formats) into e-book formats designed for dedicated e-reader devices. It outputs EPUB, MOBI, and PDF files, automatically adjusting page layouts for optimal reading on small screens.

To make comics readable on e-ink displays, the converter performs spread splitting—detecting centre seams in double-page spreads and splitting them into single pages—and white-line panel detection, which identifies panel boundaries for automatic cropping. It also includes binarization with dithering to convert grayscale images into clear black-and-white images suited for e-ink, and uses output profile configuration to match target device screen sizes and resolutions. The tool supports fixed-layout MOBI generation for Kindle devices and preserves reading order for manga formatting.

KCC offers batch processing of multiple archives while preserving metadata, and applies e-ink display optimization such as cropping borders and enhancing contrast to improve readability on dedicated readers.
