I've used Calibre to manage my Kobo's library for many years. For some reason, none of the epub to kepub plugins are functional anymore.

The result is cover art does not sync properly, and the books are slightly wrong in their formatting.

I have KoboTouchExtended, KoboUtlities, and KePub Output installed. Manually converting an epub to kepub returns an error. Directly syncing the file to my Kobo will result in no conversion, but the file extension becomes .kepub.epub - which is useless as far as I can tell.

I'm not sure if a recent Calibre update broke everything, or if it's a firmware issue on the Kobo. Either way, how can I get conversion working again so that Calibre is usable?

Device information:
- Using Calibre (latest version) on my M1 Mac Mini
- Kobo Forma on the latest firmware
