ComiXology, Backups, and File Formats

Now that ComiXology is allowing non-DRM backups of the comics you buy through them, I'm faced with a choice of which format I download them in, PDF vs CBZ.

Doing some quick Googling about, it seems that CBZ provides a better reading experience, but for long-haul archiving, I'm concerned it may be a more transitory format than PDF.

I don't have any specific plans to be constantly reading the backup files, but I don't know if there are other significant trade-offs between the formats.  

Any other thoughts on advantages or disadvantages to consider?

  1. A CBZ file is nothing more than a zip file full of JPGs with the file extension changed, but it is way smaller in size for the same quality. PDF offer zero advantage, none. Get the CBZ format and enjoy.

  2. +Dave Hill It will depend on the compression and image settings used. I am not sure how they are doing it. When you have a few tens of thousands of comics, it adds up quickly. I average much larger size differences, though.

    However, another factor is that ZIP is much easier to manipulate, like if you want to delete the ad pages.
