On linux you can open CBR with evince. But for a better experience portability PDF is recomanded. calibre can convert it to pdf. Unfortunately calibre changes the image, which is very important to CBR and CBZ, so to have minimal loss of quality, practically using the original jpg inside the CBR(CBZ) you need to use img2pdf, I use this commands:

First need to install this:

sudo apt install img2pdf p7zip-full

1) This to make a pdf file out of every jpg image without loss of either resolution or quality:

ls -1 ./*jpg | xargs -L1 -I {} img2pdf {} -o {}.pdf

2) This to concatenate the pdfpages into one:

pdftk *.pdf cat output combined.pdf

I made this batch files (github here)

./cbr2pdf.sh:

#!/bin/bash

set -xev

ORIGINAL_FOLDER=`pwd` 

JPEGS=`mktemp -d`

cp "$1" "$JPEGS"

cd "$JPEGS"

7z e "$1" 

ls -1 ./*jpg | xargs -L1 -I {} img2pdf {} -o {}.pdf

pdftk *.pdf cat output combined.pdf

cp "$JPEGS/combined.pdf" "$ORIGINAL_FOLDER/$1.pdf"

cat cbz2pdf.sh

#!/bin/bash

#set -xev

ORIGINAL_FOLDER=`pwd` 

JPEGS=`mktemp -d`

unzip "$1" -d "$JPEGS"

cd "$JPEGS"

ls -1 ./*jpg | xargs -L1 -I {} img2pdf {} -o {}.pdf

pdftk *.pdf cat output combined.pdf

cp "$JPEGS/combined.pdf" "$ORIGINAL_FOLDER/$1.pdf"
