Another advantage is because calibre can make KePub on the fly, you have the choice of ePub or KePub for which you prefer to read. There is an option in the KoboTouch driver such that you can create a Y/N column for if you want KePub or not. I do this. I have a bit of code that allows me to decide what format I want.

IN the KoboTouch driver, in the second tab from the left, there is Template to decide conversion:. The code I use is
Code:
program: $#kepub == 'yes'
#kepub is the column name I've chose for my Y/N column.
For me it's the device, not the book - I read kepubs on the Sage and epubs on the Libra 2, often the same book (for a few books with lots of illustrations I also keep the kepub version on the Libra. But for 99% of my books I have no need of this).
