I have extended kobo driver plugin already. But I need a other plugin? To get calibre to convert and store the kepub conversions?
I'd like to generate a big batch of kepub.epub and put them in dropbox for future use without sending them directly to kobo. I like to have only a handful of books in progress on the actual kobo
Extract the attached zip file to the Kobo Dropbox folder. There are two batch files included. You just double-click (or single-click depending on how you have Windows setup) the file you want to run.
  1. renames all files in the same folder as the batch script and all its subfolders from .kepub to .kepub.epub for Kobo
  2. renames all files in the same folder as the batch script and all its subfolders from .kepub.epub to .kepub for Calibre


Then assuming you already have the ebooks stored as kepub in your Calibre library:
  1. Save to disk -> Save single format to disk... -> select KEPUB and save to your Kobo Dropbox folder.
  2. Run the batch file "rename2kepub-epub-for-kobo.bat" inside your Kobo Dropbox folder (Windows may hide the ".bat" part)

To minimize on Dropbox uploads and downloads, you can also do the Calibre Save to disk and run the batch rename script on a temporary folder. Then just move the files from the temp folder to the Kobo Dropbox folder after they've already been renamed to kepub.epub.
