The epub in your calibre library is not changed at all and no kepub is stored in calibre.

However, there is also a separate, purely optional, facility which can do a calibre epub-to-kepub conversion within the calibre library if you really want/need it.

(Call me old-fashioned, but I still prefer standard epubs myself.)
Thanks for clarifying. I didn't want to have to store a kepub on my computer so that plugin sounds like what I'm looking for. I prefer epubs but I like knowing chapter lengths and I much prefer dynamic page numbers. I can put up with the static page numbers but not knowing the chapter length is a deal breaker for me (I run the old Nook software which still has the page numbers in the TOC even though the dictionary is crap because of this). Apps for iOS like Stanza, Marvin, and iBooks all use epub and display them how I like but I prefer the e-ink screen for reading. Kobo is looking better and better.
