Correct.

2) When I send a book with Calibre, it will still have the .epub extension? I did notice that diff says that the file on device in Calibre and Aura are different so I'm guessing it worked. Plus the Kobo reader reports it as "Kobo Epub" in list view so I'm guessing all is working!
For a book to be recognised as a kepub on the device, the extension has to be ".kepub.epub". The drivers in calibre will handle the renaming during the send.

Duly noted. Will give it a try but will double check things for weird side-effects.
There are probably as many problems with epub as there are with kepubs. It's a matter of choosing your favourite. I do a mix. Mainly epub if I'm sideloading, but for picture or footnote heavy books, I sideload as kepub.
