2.6.2 No longer processing Calibre created Kepubs
Is anyone having any issues sending caliber converted Epubs to Kepubs to any of the Kobo devices using firmware update 2.6.2? Just tried and non of the books converted were recognized. Calibre did say they were where they were supposed to be. So I deleted the books ejected and tried to just manually drop them in.. Same result no recognization of the Calibre created Kepubs. Same books however were processed when sent via Calibre/Side loaded as epubs.
Any one else with similar issues? regards Jack |

If that's true, it's bad news. Did you try just to rename an epub you put on the device to .kepub.epub? Instead of letting the extended kobo driver to handle it.

A little question there : the point of converting to kpub is to be able to use reading life on non kobo books ?
I found a topic about that, saying it's possible, but it's old. |

Correct. for the reading position sync (what we call cloud bookmarking) to work, the book must be obtained from kobo and downloaded / synced from Kobo. Side-loaded books, regardless of where they were obtained from (for example, if it were an ascm file of a book purchased from Kobo) will NOT sync their reading position.

I've just tested 2.9.0 on my Aura HD, it seems that they removed the time stats for sideloaded kepubs, however they still are picked up and processed.

That is correct. Kobo have removed the display from sideloaded kepubs as of 2.9.0. They have stated it was due to errors in the calculation. But, the rest of the stats are collected and displayable in the manner I described earlier.

(I'm assuming this glitch includes sideloaded books from Kobo.) I'm always getting more books so I hope they get this fixed soon. |
