What I need ia a similar option, that renames .kepub to .kepub.epub if downloaded from a Kobo eReader.

And because kobo browser refuses to download .kepub files, the rename has to be made in a way so the browser will not refuse the download.


The difference is that a .kepub.epub made only by changing file extension as COPS does is not a good kepub file.
The Calibre conversion plug-in instead applies also a lot of changes in the epub structure and code, to create a good working kepub that only needs a rename.
You're right. I'll extend the rename to kepub.epub to kepub also.

About the Calibre plugin for kepub, I'll tell all the story : I contacted jgoguen to check if he was OK if I was to port his plugin to COPS and he was.

So I started to work on it and I still have an uncompleted patch somewhere. I had to test again kepub on my Aura and I was not amazed by the difference with the normal epub handling. For more philosophical reason I'm a strong advocate to the only real standard ebook format : Epub. In addition I read that there was some problem with the Calibre Kepub plugin and latest Kobo firmware.

So for those 3 reasons, the patch will likely stay a patch (unless someone want to complete it). Can you tell me why you like Kepub better ?

EDIT @eXistenZ : I just spend half an hour on the rename and it would help if you could send me a Calibre library with at least one book in both format (epub and kepub) I have to check something. Thanks
