Calibre Metadata plugboard and Kepub

vandafc · 10-07-2014, 09:28 AM

Hi Guys,

I have some difficulties to use the Metadata plugboard of Calibre to add series name and number to the title.

It works perfectly with epub format but when I try to use it with Kepub books, It doesn't work anymore

So far, I tried 'any format' as format and 'KOBOTOUCH' as device but it doesn't seems to work ...

any idea?

ok, just to confirm - it works like a charm with epub format

Isn't it possible to convert it via Calibre to regular EPUB and then pass it onto the device? I currently don't have any Kepubs on my laptop nor Kobo Touch to test it.

Either way, I'm sure someone with a more educated answer will aid you soon.

Thanks for your reply doxallday. In fact, my idea is the opposite. I transform my epub in Kepub in order to get advantages of the Kepub reader of Kobo.

The only think that I lost is my custom Metadata plugboard configuration.

But it works (I have calibre configurated in that way, but you have to change the file type to apply the plugboard). When I arrive home I'll get a screen capture.

I don't convert directly to epub but use kobo extended driver for sending it as kepub.
