It gets hung up on processing content. Oh, I also have the modify epub tweek.
The debug log clearly shows that the extended driver was used when you did that test. Have you done the uninstall since then? Just in case it isn't showing up but is still hanging around, could you check the plugin directory. To do this, open the preferences in calibre and click the "Miscellaneous" button near the bottom. Then click the "Open calibre configuration" button. Once that is opened, go into the "plugins" directory. Look for and delete "KoboTouchExtended.zip". Then close calibre and restart.

So I experimented, and closed calibre and connected the Kobo to the computer. When I ejected it from the computer, again it started processing content and hung up. And I did not do anything but connect it and disconnect it.

When I started to finally add books I did the configure device and I have epub, mobi and kepub selected. Some of my books I have converted to all three formats.
The fact you can select "kepub" as a format when configuring the device means that you are using the extended driver. The main driver has very little knowledge of the kepub format and does not list it as an option. As another check, is the last option on the configuration dialog "Title to test when debugging"? If there are more, then it is the extended driver.

Another check to do is after sending the book and before disconnecting, look at the drive for the device. Check that the file for the book is there. If it isn't something went wrong. If it is, then disconnect and see if the processing screen gets displayed. The next step depends on that.

You said, 'If you don't want that, you need to disable it, unisntall it or change the drivers configuration to not do the conversion.' Should I uninstall all of them and start over? Also, because I don't follow 'lingo' sometimes, I am not sure how to 'change the drivers to not do the conversion.' so not sure how to do this. Any advice will be GREATLY appreciated!
The extended driver has an option "Enable extended Kobo features". If this is selected, then it will send epubs to the device as kepubs. And it will do the conversion each time a book is sent.
