Easier? I selected a group of books and then ran ModifyEpub against them. It doesn't get much easier than that.

As for why I went that route? I had the ebooks that had the kobo spans, etc. in their "authentic" from Kobo form. ModifyEpub was the quickest way when I was testing to remove the Kobo spans, etc. from them so I could compare the kepub and epub versions using RMSDK as the renderer. Ghod knows enough people have mentioned differences between kepub and epub on a Kobo ereader so I was curious about how the two would differ when using the same renderer. Oddly, on the half dozen ebooks I used for testing, there were no visible differences when using RMSDK to render both versions.

This, so to speak, let me compare apples to apples by using the same renderer in contrast to comparing apples to oranges by using two renderers.

BTW, my personal preference for converting epub to kepub is using kepubify with the --calibre option.
