Thanks for the advise tshering. I don't see any of the kobo specific tags in the html files.

I did however zip up the files that the Android Kobo app created. When I changed the extension to .kepub.epub, I got the standard: No cover art, chapters work correctly, but the device forgets your chapter position behavior.

The good news is, renaming the zipped up files back to just the .ebpub extension makes the ebooks much better for me.

- The formatting looks much exactly like the kepub. The original epub files had no separation of pages, chapters, etc. and the links in the ToC didn't work. Using the version that the Android app generated, it's formatted just the the kepub. Cover art works, chapters are separated, etc.

- No chapter progress, it simply displays the page number at the bottom. This number seems dependent on the text size sometimes it shows the same page # for two consecutive pages

While I do prefer the chapter progress that the real kepub (and the automatic conversion on the actual Android creates), I'm happy enough with good formatting to do it this way.

I'm still not sure why the Kobo Android app will automatically format the epubs, but the actual device wont. Guess they want you to buy books from the Kobo store...

jgoguen, I'll definitely browse the plug-in thread and look forward to the ability to actually convert to real kepubs.
