I have read a few things about kepub being the optimal format for Kobo readers, but I'm not sure how to convert existing epubs to this format in Calibre, or whether this is necessary. Will straight epub do the job fine, or is there some extra benefit to converting to kepub? If so, how would I go about it?

For reference, the target devices are a Glo, a Touch and a Mini.

Any comments, tips appreciated.
i'll echo advise already given. try both and decide which you prefer. you can also use kepubify to convert epub to kepub. https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=326652
