Hi,
My library has 2000 books. Only 180 are converted via Calibre to kepub.
My 3 children and I each use a Kobo and therefore the Calibre conversion to take advantage of kepub. My wife uses a Kindle.
Recently I struggled to convert a kepub. A Calibre error was preventing me from doing so. Kepubify did not have this problem and got me out of it.

I'm wondering if I should change my entire database and start with a library that has been fully converted to kepub using kepubify.
- the transfer would be much faster and without errors.
- the size would be divided by two?

A) Is there anything I haven't seen?

B) But I don't know if Calibre will be able to process the kepubs and send them to the kindle in mobi format.

C) I prefer to ask the following question: My current library is very rich with tags, series, collections and ratings. Is all this info kept after kepubify conversion?

Here is how I see the procedure:
- streamline my library by deleting the 180 existing kepubs
- launch the batch conversion with kepubify
- delete all epubs

No one seems to manage their library with only kepub. Something seems to escape me... maybe I didn't search enough on the forum
