I do NOT do anything to "convert the already hyphenated Epub to KEpub." My books in calibre are all epubs. I use the Kobo Touch Extended Plugin to have Calibre send the epub to the Kobo, which converts it to the kepub. It is automatic.

I know. The Kobo Touch Extended Driver (is the shorthand KTED in use in this forum? If not, it now is
) converts on the fly, so if you use Hyphenate This on your EPUB's in the library, you actually
do convert your already-hyphenated EPUB to KEPUB. You just don't save it.
I prefer to have all formats I use in Calibre, if possible, because I have some positively HUGE books that would take 10+ minutes to convert if I decided to read them. Now, I store the EPUB (base format) and AZW3 formats for all books. Assuming the KEPUB conversion plugin would normally work, I would just store the KEPUB format as well.
Still, if the driver conversion works better than the plugin for whatever reason, I'd use the driver. I don't really care what sort of file ends up in the device, as long as it looks alright and I can create it from my base EPUBs.

I do not have a special on device hyphenation dictionary. I think it came preloaded with a dictionary. I didn't put one on, but when I long press a word, I get the definition.

OK, I understand. I've read that it is possible to store/update a hyphenation dictionary on the Kobo (actually, the same one as is used by Hyphenate This), and then have the KEPUB changed in such a way that the book can use it. At least, that is the way I understand it.
Clearly, when using Hyphenate This, that is no longer neccesary, as the hyphenation is built into the book directly. (If you count pages after hyphenation, the book will actually be longer, because of the invisible soft-hyphens.) I'd prefer using Hyphenate This, because I use it on the EPUBs I send to the Kindle.
Even if I buy the Aura HD, I'll not sell the Kindle. I could get €70 for it, including the cover, and that's not worth it. I'd rather keep it as a backup; assuming the Aura HD actually gets bought and stays.

With the side-loaded kepub, as has been said, it no longer shows time left, but it shows page # of page # in chapter, so at least you know how long til the end of the chapter.

I've read the thread about re-enabling those stats. If it can't be done, it can't be done. I just want SOME way to know where I am in the chapter, or at the very least, in the book.
I'll just use the Count Pages page numbers in Calibre, so I can estimate the "paperback size" of a book, and have the Kobo use whatever it uses. I just need to time my reading speed once, to know how many pages an hour I can read on the Kobo. I can then calculate my own TTR wel enough.
If the chapter page numbers are displayed (for example, Page 4 of 17 in Chapter 3) is there a way to also see the number of pages in the book?
