I had defined a plugboard to modify the title to include the series index information: {series_index:0>2s| – | – }{title}

This plugboard will only run if I do not pre-convert to kepub.

I have a Kobo Glo HD running 3.15.0

EDIT:
My plugboard is defined for any format:any device. Also, I tried using the normal KoboTouch driver to send the kepub over, and it also did not run the plugboard
The problem is that calibre does not have full support for the kepub format. It doesn't have metadata reading and writing support or input to the conversion. I have written plugins to do this and published them as beta's here. I need to either officially publish them or add them to calibre.

As to the convert or not, I'm in mixed minds about it. I usually read as epub, so don't want to use the extended driver. By converting, I can pick specific books to read as kepubs. But, if I find errors and fix them, it is always in the epub and I have to reconvert.
