Good to know that is possible, thanks. I am not likely to upgrade past 2.0.1 unless/until it becomes necessary though, just in case some retailer I buy from ever decides to switch over to the hardened DRM.

What's the advantage of the epub as opposed to the kepub?
|
It is not a big thing, since KePubs are just ePubs with some extra stuff added by Kobo they can be read in Calibre or any ePub reader (one DRM has been removed) and it seems to be possible to remove the stuff added by Kobo to get back close to the publisher's original ePub by using the Modify ePub plugin.
But I'd still prefer just to start with the original ePub that hasn't been through the process of conversion to KePub and back, just because it is simpler and eliminates one possible source of problems. Since KePub is Kobo's proprietary creation they can change the method they use at any time and so there is no way to be sure something hasn't been lost in the conversion without downloading the original ePub version for comparison anyway.
(I know some self-published books don't actually have an original ePub version because the author just uploaded a Word doc, and Kobo created both the ePub and KePub versions from that.)
