About the CB7 format
CB7 is the comic book archive that chose 7-Zip: page images (JPG/PNG) packed in a .7z container. Scan-heavy collections prefer it because 7-Zip's LZMA beats ZIP on exactly the kind of data comics are made of — flat-color art compresses dramatically better.
Reading CB7 is a 7z-container job followed by the standard page-to-PDF pipeline: every image becomes a full-bleed PDF page in order, readable on any device.
