Hi, I just bought the Gutenberg-DE edition 16.

I want to convert my favorite books to Epub and transfer them to my Kobo Libra 2.

Sounds too easy?

Well, http://www.epub2go.eu/ does the job from the online Gutenberg-DE repository.
However, it is not from the locally installed version.

I just pulled the index.html of a book of interest to calibre; it tells about 'importing metadata' and stalls (well, after 20 min at 0%, I gave up).

Any experience or tricks on how I can do it?

Note: I already complained to the Gutenberg-DE service about why they cannot make it a bit easier, e.g., by a calibre plugin..
