Thank you gabby98 and davidfor for your replies.

davidfor, I was asking because when I used the ‘Save to disk’ option in calibre to save via the cardreader, the result basically duplicated the Calibre Library folder which has a folder for each author that also contains a folder for each book that contains the epub book, its cover and a metadata.opf file.

I then tried a second method, ‘Save to disk in a single directory’, that saved only the epub files themselves. I didn’t think that was correct since for some reason I felt it was important to have the metadata file export with the epub as well. I mean, isn’t that how the kobo knows what plug-in mods have been made with respect to collections, sorting, series, etc.?

Sorry, my bad... When I used the "Save to disk' option, I only selected (10) books; therefore, I saw (10) folders; however, when I used the other option, I selected (100) books and since the folder was set to 'sort by type', I saw the (100) epub files first instead of continuing to scroll through the entire folder contents to see the covers and metadata files.

Thanks again.
