Are you wanting to send the books as kepubs, or are you wanting to change the titles for purchased and downloaded kepubs?
There are three cases:
- Use the KoboTouchExtended driver and send epubs as kepubs. This will work as is.
- Convert to kepub in the calibre library and send these. This won't work at the moment, but I have created the extra plugins that are needed and published them in beta form. I need to publish them properly or get them included in calibre.
- Purchased and downloaded kepubs. Not automatically.
For the last two cases, and any book already on the device, my Kobo Utilities plugin can do it. This has a function to update the metadata in the database on the device from the calibre library. For titles and authors, it can use the metadata plugboard. You do need the book in the calibre library. I usually download the epub version from the Kobo shop, but you can create an empty book if you don't want to do that.
