Sending epubs to Kobo saves kepubs on hard drive

Perhaps I misremember but I seem to recall that at one point Calibre didn't save the converted kepub to my hard drive when I sent books to my Kobo. I have Calibre set to only send kepubs to my Kobo devices. Have I changed some setting which I now cannot find or am I simply advancing to my senility?

There is an option in the KoboTouchExtended driver to save the files to the local disk. You can turn this off.

I've searched for this option and just can't find it. The closest I see is under the extended tab: Copy generated KePub files to a directory with a field afterwards which I assumed would place the Kepubs where specified. There is no checkmark I can toggle to disable this option.

When I entered another directory in the field the kepub still ended up in my Calibre library and not in the directory I named. Leaving the field blank saves the kepub. Putting the word "no" into the field also saves the kepub.

I tried uninstalling KoboTouchExtended, restarting Calibre , reinstalling the plugin and restarting Calibre but with no effect. I may try un-reinstalling Calibre as a next step but would rather not with an almost 30000 item library.

For the record, Windows 10, Calibre 3.20 (64 bit), Kobo Touch Extended 3.0.2, H2O (version 1) and Aura One, both with the latest firmware.

I don't usually use the KoboTouchExtended driver and I don't think I have ever used the save copy option. It is supposed to work by saving a copy of the book in kepub format in whatever directory is entered. And if the no directory is entered, then it shouldn't save the file.

But, rereading you first post, I suspect the problem is elsewhere. You say you have "Calibre set to only send kepubs". How did you do that? Did you go to the list of formats in the driver configuration and uncheck everything except "kepub"? If so, that is the problem. That tells calibre to send kepubs from the library to the device, and if there isn't a kepub, then convert whatever exists to kepub. And after a conversion, calibre will always add the converted book to the library.

If that is what you have done, you should go into the driver configuration and on the first tab, select epub. This will mean the KoboTouchExtended driver will perform its magic on the epubs during the send rather than calibre performing a calibre conversion before sending the book.

That did the trick. My hard drive and I thank you.
