Does anyone here know a self hostable service (or a demo of someone else hosting it) which can split common .cbr filetype to a .cbz or other filetype to split the panels?

So for example the 1 image I put with this post, would be 8 seperate images (pages).

That would ideally somehow make the comic books readable on a (somewhat old) black and white travel-Kobo...

Both cbr and cbz are just compressed archives - R for Rar and Z for Zip. The format has got nothing to do with how the images are displayed in a reader application.

If you want any reader to read a comic frame by frame instead of page by page, you'd have to uncompress the file, then cut out each individual frame and give them sensible names (eg. page_39_frame_03.png or somesuch) and then recompress.

Someone else in the thread mention software that can do this, but it might not always work as expected, when the layout is not straight-forward.
