I have another question:

How do I get the book on my Kobo Libra 2 to sync to my Android device if it is in kepub format on my Kobo? How does Progress Sync recognise identical books? The book would probably be in epub (not kepub) format on my Android device. Is there any way to get the kepub and epub to sync with each other?

Kepubs are indeed "kepub.epub", so they're just epubs and can be used on any device the program supports (if it already works on your kobo it should work on android too)

Progress sync does a md5 hash of each file and pushes/pulls sync data based on that number.

If you edit the book or change what's inside it the md5 hash won't match and the sync server will report two different positions, one for the original book and another for the edited one.
