Hi,

I was reading about some upcoming changes to Calibre and am trying to get some clarification of the impact.

I understand that KoboTouchExtended provides for on-the-fly (i.e. without needing to stored the kepub) conversion of epub to kepub formats when sending to a device. This is something that I would like to use, but have avoided to date as it only works over a wired connection.

Can I ask, once KoboTouchExtended and the other plugins mentioned in the link are deprecated, will Calibre have the native ability to do on-the-fly conversion over wifi? Ideally I'm looking for ability to do this when sending a batch of books at a time.
