There are three cases:
- Use the KoboTouchExtended driver and send epubs as kepubs. This will work as is.
- Convert to kepub in the calibre library and send these. This won't work at the moment, but I have created the extra plugins that are needed and published them in beta form. I need to publish them properly or get them included in calibre.
- Purchased and downloaded kepubs. Not automatically.
For the last two cases, and any book already on the device, my Kobo Utilities plugin can do it. This has a function to update the metadata in the database on the device from the calibre library. For titles and authors, it can use the metadata plugboard. You do need the book in the calibre library. I usually download the epub version from the Kobo shop, but you can create an empty book if you don't want to do that.

Hi Davidfor,
Thank you & yes. I am referring to option 1 and 2. I don't know how to do 1. I haven't had time to play with that today and I was trying to do option 2 and yep, as noted it doesn't work.
When buying books from Kobo I try to buy where they have the option to download epubs to do the conversion. I got some funky results and I'll post a screen shot of the reader in a couple of days. It didn't turn out like I was expecting and saw with my Sony - Harry Potter - 01 - (full title)
It came out with the actual, unmodified title of the book on one line and then in a smaller script on the line below it would say Harry Potter - 01. Which I actually liked better than having the entire title changed. I converted to kepub because I like how it shows the title of the book I'm reading at the header.
I'm not entirely sure how I got it to do that but I do like it better.
lol
