When I convert a epub publication I use the Sony T3 profile currently. To be able to also support a Kobo ereader, what do I need to do?

Option 1: Convert all books to the Kepub format doubling the size of the database.
Option 2: use an other method that I do not know about.

Please advise.
The first thing to do is set the profile to Tablet as that won't change the size of any graphics if you do have to convert.

The second thing to do is just send all these ePub to your Forma without converting. You don't need to convert to KePub as you can read them as ePub. The ePub reader will give you better typesetting. More like what you were used to with your T3.
