Absolutely! As has been pointed out (and as you've discovered) you can either un-check the "Enable Extended Features" box (which disables all extra features, not just the kepub-ification) or you can disable/remove the KoboTouchExtended plugin and enable the KOBOTOUCH plugin.

That depends on what options you had enabled. The full set of things that it could do are:

• Delete files not in the ePub manifest (or add them to the manifest)
• Refuse to upload DRM-encumbered files
• Continue uploading books if one book in a group fails
• Add hyphenation
• Force the content language to be the language you set in the calibre metadata
• Smarten punctuation
• Clean the content file HTML code

I went to the KoboTouchExtended 1.3.1 plugin in order to see what was selected. One thing that was checked was "Enable Extended Features".

I tried unchecking that and it no longer does the kepub conversion.

As pointed out, if you do this there's no point in leaving this driver enabled or even installed. It's not as bad as Uschiekid thinks (but I understand where the idea comes from) - I don't copy the current KOBOTOUCH driver, I extend it. So if you don't enable extended features, I simply pass all the books over to davidfor's main driver. When extended features are enabled, I modify the content of the books and then pass the modified books over to the main driver. For the best experience, I would recommend disabling or removing KoboTouchExtended if you aren't using the extended features.

If you want to use kepub conversion on another device but not on the Aura, that's also possible. Click the arrow beside the "Device" toolbar button and choose "Configure This Device". You'll get an options dialog that looks like the plugin options but applies strictly to the device that's currently plugged in.

Happy reading!
