Do any scanlators use the CBR format?

[2xN]

I've been recently downloading and reading comics in as CBR (I assume it stands for something along the lines of "comic book reader") files, which is essentially a bunch of jpeg images compiled into one file. CDisplay, the program I use to read CBRs, is a handy application that allows me to view the pages of the book in "fullscreen" mode, using my keyboard to navigate down the page.

I find it more convenient than downloading the images through zips, as the Windows program that lets me view images has poor navigation features and doesn't have a legitimate fullscreen option. It's also better than reading comics online, because I don't have to wait on my dodgy wifi connection or deal with internet ads.

So, are there any scanlators out there that use CBR?

I guess no, but you can use Picasa, a nice image viewer from google. ;)

I'm a scanlator and I release rar/zip files.
The point is that someone could prefear the default window's viewer.
But you can easily download CDisplay and use it on your own, it's a free software, just google it.
It reads comics from directory and zip/rar/tar files, it's very usefull. I use it too!

a .cbr is just a renamed .rar .

And you still can use cdisplay to view jpg files: just put a single chapter into a folder and open it with the program....

just rename .zip files in .cbz, and rar in .cbr :)

Damn didn't know that lol. Thanks!

I have also came across the sane problem. But when I came to know that we can rename .zip file to .cbz and .rar to .cbr. I was shocked that I did not know such a small thing. Now I am clear. I hope you also understood the thing.

You don't even need to rename it... just right click the CBR file and "open with" cdisplay.
