You don't need Calibre or anything else except Finder on your Mac: change the extension and save the file to Dropbox and it will download as a kepub, or leave it .epub and Kobo will use the universal standard.

Whoah. Are you telling me the only difference between an epub and kepub is the extension? And the only reason it's different is because the Kobo reader has two different renderers and the extension tells the reader which renderer to use?
If that's the case, what's all this talk about using Calibre to convert to kepub and a kepub output plug-in? Is all that just to change the extension?
Though if it's as simple as that, the Glo HD is looking more appealing to me again.
