@geek1011 is developing kepubify output plugin for Calibre ( https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=312308) to replace the kepub output plugin, it is still in early development, but you can just try it or just wait.
Currently kepubify doesn't work with Calibre, but you can try to convert all your epub files to .kepub.epub files using kepubify, and load them into Calibre and them send the .kepub.epub files to Kobo, but I never try it, I'm not sure it will work or not. |
Thanks for the info codychan.
At the moment I have already converted all my epubs into kebubs with calibre, so when I copy to the kobo there is no conversion. I have both a kepub and an epub file for each book and they are sitting in my calibre folder/library together.
With my test file, I just converted one epub file with kepubify, renamed it from *.kepub.epub to just *.kepub and replaced the existing kepub in my calibre library.
It worked perfectly, but I can't do that individually for 3000 books, so am hoping there might be a way to automate it - I can automate renaming the kepub files with no trouble, but it's more about getting them in the right folders so calibre can find them, and not causing a conflict of interest with the existing kepubs before I delete them.
Ideally, it would be great if I could:
1) Delete all the kepubs in calibre (easily done).
2) Drop my entire calibre library folder into Kepubify and have it create kepubs in the same folders as each individual epub file
3) Have calibre 'discover' the new kepubs alongside the epubs and add them to each books entry.
Do you think this can be done?
