That is, Gerald Durrell - The Corfu Trilogy.epub would be opened with RMSDK while Gerald Durrell - The Corfu Trilogy.kepub.epub would be opened with ACCESS. A Kobo ereader has no idea of what to do with Gerald Durrell - The Corfu Trilogy.kepub since it does not use .kepub as the filename extension.

Books synced directly from Kobo don't bother with a filename extension, the filename looks like a GUID—i.e. 6ec1549e-6c6e-4432-a5ef-f56f5711674e—though the files are stored in a directory called kepub.
erm, yes, as I said it's the Kobo end that has the issue, Dropbox is happy to have and send the file.

I appreciate that Calibre has to append .kepub. That's all well and good.

The issue now is that apparently everyone elses Calibre outputs .kepub.epub while mine is outputting just .kepub

And for the life of me I can not figure out why since, AFAIK, I am using the same tools they are.
