I've just realized I posted this in the wrong thread, and since I don't know how to move it, I copy it, modified, hereunder.

I decided recently to use the kobotouch extended plugin for my annotated epubs, because it is the only convenient way to read notes. Also for very big "omnibuses", such as the Pynch editions, I like to know where I am, so the kepub footer is the best answer.

But I have a problem with Addison and Steele's Spectator, found on Project Gutenberg: with the plugin activated, Calibre silently sends a plain epub to my aura. At 2.2 MB and 2208 pages this epub's size isn't that different from another epub at 2.8 MB (before conversion => 3.4 MB after conversion) and 2109 pages which works fine.

Conversely, I had problems with Pynch's Kafka's Gesammelte Werke in the kepub version (everything in italics), so I cancelled it from the aura, deactivated the kobo extended plugin, and sent it back to the device, with others collected works, and they all are kepubs. I've had the problem occasionnaly, but usually desactivating works. So I had to uninstall the plugin before the transfer.

NB: I have the latest versions of everything (kobo, calibre, plugins).
