Error installing updated plugin
Updated Calibre to 1.6 today. Saw that there was an update for this plugin. Tried to install and got the following error:

What problem with calibre? I don't see a thread or a bug report.

After reading some of the earlier posts, I'm thinking I *WON'T* upgrade the plugin at all. I like that it converts my sideloaded epubs to kepubs with all the various stats and I don't want to lose any of that.

The plugin has nothing to do with it. It's your Kobo firmware version that matters. If you want to keep your stats, upgrade the plugin and don't upgrade your Kobo firmware past 2.8.0.
Just be aware that because of limitations in resources and timeI can only support the latest plugin version using the latest official calibre release and the latest official firmware for the Aura and the Glo/Aura HD/Mini/Touch. |

I put 2.9.0 onto my Glo and I have lost the ability to view stats inside of books. It is, however, still keeping track of them. With .kepubs sent using this plugin, it will give me an estimated time remaining for the currently reading book on the home screen, while normal .epubs will not.
I have been noticing more and more problems opening .kepubs that are mid-way being read on both 2.8.1(a) and 2.9.0. I'm not sure if it's a book structure issue, .kepub plugin issue, or some odd combination of both. On the book I'm currently reading, if I return to the home screen when I'm on "Chapter 2 - Open – Page 40 of 67", when I return to the book it freezes on a white screen which I get past by bringing up the top menu and dismissing it. It then displays the last page of the chapter and says it's "Chapter 2 - Open – Page 80 of 67" Hmmm... Can anyone direct me how to use Sigil to verify the integrity/structure of an .epub so I can rule out pre-existing problems that might be pumped into the .kepub plugin? |

Is there any perspective if the no stats issue from the 2.9.0 firmware can be fixed in the future?
Once again awesome work with the plugin, I really love it how now all my epubs simply work with my Glo, no need to resize the fonts every time I read a different ebook. So thanks To make my Kobo experience perfect would be a hack that allow to use dropbox or some kind of personal server alongside or instead of the kobo, to sync sideloaded ebooks, reading positions, notes and highlights between devices. |

The no stats is inherent IN the firmware itself; not in the book being read.
We were led to believe at one point that Kobo was revisiting the issue, but we've seen no change or indication that a change is planned. |

Pay attention to the Kobo Developer sub-forum (in the Kobo Reader forum) and the Kobo reader forum. I'm not sure exactly what's available but there may be something similar to what you're looking for. Don't expect to sync annotations though, they're in the database itself I believe.

I'm working on it, but don't expect much. It looks like a database hack is needed, which is going to be fragile assuming I can even get anything working.

1. There's a database flag to enable the showing of statistics. 2. There's code within the book itself that enables the showing of statistics. 3. The device has a "list" of books that is supplied by Kobo that tells it which books to display stats with. Option 3 seems unlikely, and Option 1 & 2 could probably be worked around. It's just a matter of digging to see what's going on. Makes me wish I had more time to actually do some of the digging. |

Or infomation could be added to another table, such as an event of a book being downloaded from Kobo.
I will admit I've very mixed feelings about attempts to reverse engineer and re-activate the stats display for side-loaded kEpubs. |
