I am using Calibre 8.4 to transfer books to my Kobo Clara HD. I have removed all the 'old' Kobo extensions except DeDRM.
When sending new epubs to my device, Calibre correctly automatically converts the epub to kepub, and uploads the kepub - all good.
The problem is that I now have both epub and kepub versions of each book in my Calibre library, I can manually delete the kepub version but I thought Calibre is supposed to automatically remove the kepub after upload? Is there a setting I need to tweak to prevent Calibre from keeping the kepubs?
