The error Code referrs to the Kobo Touch Extended Driver:
Code:
calibre, version 2.77.0
FEHLER: Fehler: Fehler bei der Kommunikation mit dem Gerät

Fehler beim Einfügen 'kath.net [Sa, 14 Jan 2017]' von 'calibre' mit Fehler: 'All strings must be XML compatible: Unicode or ASCII, no NULL bytes or control characters' (file: calibre_plugins.kobotouch_extended.container, line: 178)

After uninstalling Kobo Touch Extended Driver, transferring of the newspaper was possible, but trying to convert an epub to kepub showed the same error message.
That error is exactly the same error you saw with the conversion. As you were using the extended driver, it was doing the work of changing the epub to a kepub. The driver and kepub output plugin share code, and the error occurred in exactly the same line.

To test if this is the temporary directory, open a command prompt and do the following:

Code:
SET CALIBRE_TEMP_DIR=C:\TEMP
calibre-debug -g
You will need to create the directory or change it to one that already exists. The seconds command runs calibre in debug mode. You can then try the conversion and see what happens.
