If you have the option set to skip errors, unset it and send a book. Any errors should be displayed.

UPDATE: If I uncheck all formats except kepub, and I try to send a book to my device, I get the following:

calibre, version 2.82.0
WARNING: No suitable formats: Could not upload the following books to the device, as no suitable formats were found. Convert the book(s) to a format supported by your device first.

Really at a loss here....
And that is working correctly.

The list of formats is the preference order to choose a format and send if they are in the calibre library. When you send a book to the device, calibre it looks through the format list until it finds a supported format for the book. If it doesn't find one, it does a conversion to a supported format. I would have said it used the first selected format in the driver, but maybe it is using the conversion options. Or, you don't have the Kepub Output plugin installed and enabled.

This is all standard calibre and how it works. But, the KoboTouchExtended driver does one extra thing. If the book being sent is an epub, it is modified on the fly to be a kepub. This only happens if the book being sent is an epub, or gets converted to an epub during the send.

If there are no errors showing at any time, then we need a debug log. Restore all the options to what they were before and restart calibre in debug mode. Then, connect the device and send a book. After that has finished, close calibre and the debug log will be displayed. Post the contents of the log so we can see what is happening.
