Hello,

I have Calibre (v.3.34) setup to convert books to .kepub automatically upon sending to a Kobo Aura One (via the Kobo Touch Extended Plugin). I've recently sold my KA1, and decided to replace it with a Kindle Oasis 2 (which hasn't arrived yet!), instead of the Forma which was my original plan - and I need help to change my Calibre workflow from Kobo -> Kindle.

I've been looking for a similar option/plugin/guide for the KO2, and haven't found as clear setup instructions (I apologize if I've missed something obvious) - how do I set up Calibre so it converts my books to the proper K02 format when I send it to my new Kindle (i.e., automatically on send if possible)? And what IS that format (there seems to be conflicting info on azw3 vs. kfx)?
Finally, are there any other recommended settings for using calibre specifically with the KO2 (e.g., like for Kobo there was the Kobo Shelves/Collections Wiki)?

Thank you kindly for the help/support!
