I use FBreader on android and PC. It's insanely customizable. I sometimes use it it double-page layout, 'though I haven't tried comics. Source: about 2 years ago

What crime are you okay with people committing?
I know of readarr which looks for books for you and you can use some other service to sync it to your phone and other devices as long as they run android (idk about kindle syncing if that's something you're looking for). Source: over 1 year ago
automatic ebook archiving
I think Readarr does some but I found it buggy when I used it last year. YMMV and it is worth at least a look. https://readarr.com/. Source: over 1 year ago
