.cbz is a file extension which stands for Comic Book Zip Archive. Multiple images, usually .JPEG and .PNG, are organized and saved into comic-like pages. CBZ file format is used to view and compress multiple files into a single file for convenience. The CBZ file extension does this by allowing the user to manipulate large files to their liking.
The .tcr filename extension is a compressed text file format for eBooks and text associated with eBook reader software developed by Psion, a London based techonology company. The format has its beginnings in the early 90's and was designed for use on the PDAs released by the company, particularly the Series 3 handheld PDA. Though the format is proprietary and was intended for exclusive use on Psion devices, today, a few eBook reader applications can open files encoded in this format. As PDAs eventually lost there popularity, the format was discontinued when Psion eventually pulled out of the PDA market.

.CBZ file is a .ZIP file which has been renamed in order to differentiate it from a general image viewer to a specialized one for comic books. The .cbz file extension was developed at about the same time as the .cbr file format because they were both made popular by CDisplay image viewer developed by David Ayton and released in April 2004. CDR and CBZ formats were first supported by CDisplay application.
The TCR format boasted of better compression of files saved in this format in comparison to its closest rival at the time, PalmDoc. The format is an adaptation of the ZVR text file viewer format developed for Psion, but incorporates the compression algorithms used in the TCReader program which was faster than that used on the ZVR format. The company claimed a 50% on average saving in memory storage after compression to TCR.
