I seek help from anyone using kobotouchectended and calibre-web!
How is the conversion to kepub using KoboTouchExtended handled when using Kobo Sync?
is it configured at Calibre or Calibre-web? who is the one doing the conversion?

I can speak a bit to this as I have a similar setup, you have two options
- Calibre first: add a book, pull its metadata (author, series, covers, etc.), then convert your books in advance all in Calibre using KTE. Close Calibre, and the changes should appear in Calibre-Web. You can then sync using kobo sync api, and new books should appear automatically in 'my books'
- C-W first: Calibre-web has kepubify built-in, but you have to specify the path to the binary for it (see their for instructions here or their discord, both super helpful). Upload an epub to Calibre-web (or Calibre if they share a library), and Calibre-web should convert it to kepub using kepubify when you sync your device via kobo sync.
