Alternatively, there is a stand-alone utility to batch convert epubs to Kepubs. Ufortunately, I don't know of an easy way to automatically re-integrate them with Calbire database for easy loading to device.
Keeping a copy of the Kepubs can make things faster if you find yourself sending large batches of books to a Kobo device, but considering the hassle involved, I think Jwolf's advice is best.. don't bother. (Unless, you have e-book conversion settings you want applied only to Kepubs but not your epub copies.)

It's better and easier to use the KoboTouch Extended driver to do all the KePub conversion on send to the Kobo. The ePub does not go through a Calibre conversion when it get converted to KePub and you do not need to keep the KePub and waste disk space.
