If you use kepubify's for calibre option, it will generate a .kepub file and calibre will change the extension to .kepub.epub when sending it to your Kobo.

I didn't use Calibre since I think the KoboTouchExtended plugin will always convert EPUBs itself. Also, I can't add the file as a separate format to Calibre since it ends in `.epub` so Calibre will replace my original (existing) EPUB file which I want to keep too.
As mentioned above, generate a .kepub using kepubify and set kepub above epub in the files to send to your Kobo. I do this with the few books I want in kepub but I am using the KoboTouch driver.

That is correct. OTOH, you mentioned that you had also tried the KoboTouch driver which will not convert to kepub.

OTOH, I am no longer going to respond in this thread. I finally looked at the book in your download link, it is a copyrighted book and a conversion from azw3 to epub using calibre's conversion. Sorry but that tells me that book is a pirated copy and as such, I'm outta here. I had originally thought that you had purchased the book, downloaded it and converted to ePub but turns out that was a vain hope.
