Hi - newbie here.

I purchased a book from Kobo (David Walliam's The World's Worst Children) and I would like to manage it via Calibre.

What works:
- downloading the .epub into Adobe Digital Editions
- stripping the DRM from that epub
- adding that to Calibre (default configuration is 'Kobo')
- pushing that to my Kobo Auro Edition 2

HOWEVER, when I view it on the Kobo the images are split across multiple pages.

I suspect I haven't taught Calibre about the Kobo device I have as if I convert the book manually then it states the Kobo device has a resolution of 536x710 when the Kobo marketing page states it is 1024x768.

If I try adding the .kepub file directly then Calibre can't make head-nor-tail of it.

So, I suspect I either need to:
- figure out how to add kepub files directly to Calibre
- teach it to export to a 1024x768 device

What am I missing?

Thanks!
