However, if that's too much trouble, if you like kepubs but don't want to go to the trouble of manually converting epub-to-kepub can't you just use the Kobo Extended driver to do it all for you during the send-to-device from calibre. That way you only need to keep a single master epub in calibre but the driver will automagically deliver a kepub version to the Kobo. No thinking required. |
Wow. Do you made those EPUB edits recursively? What you're describing would otherwise be a huge time constraint. While I appreciate your input, your solution wouldn't suit me. Altering selective fonts and text would deviate from the look of the book in its "natural" state that I want to preserve. I guess that I'm bemused by Kobo breaking a feature that's implemented properly in other devices.
KEPUBs introduce their own trade-offs, namely wasted header space. Also, conversions also fail to reproduce the original look in a 1:1 manner.
