Help getting rid of kepubs
I'm not one to fiddle with my devices much (partially out of laziness and partially because I'm over my head in a hurry), but I dislike having kepubs on my Kobos. I never download from Kobo but only sideload content.

I finally decided to do something about it and went into the Kobo plugins and rearranged the output file list so that epub was first. I deleted all the books on my Glo and re-sideloaded them. Hey presto! The books were all epubs. I moved on to my H2O and the first batch was fine, but ever since, no matter what I do, the books sideload as kepubs.

I went back into the plugins and unchecked everything but epub as the output format. The books still sideloaded as kepubs. Then I disabled the extended plugin and the same thing happened. What am I doing wrong and why did it work for a while? And how can I fix it permanently?

Oh, and I always eject my device properly. And FWIW, it tried with my Mini and the problem replicates.

Please be gentle and gear any help to a very low level of competency!

With the device connected (the device icon(s) will now be on the toolbar)
right-Click the arrow: Configure this device:
Change the preferred ORDER using the arrows on the right, remove ticks from incompatible formats


Why would you NOT want to use a KEPUB on a Kobo device? It has more features than the 'plain-o' EPUB

The changes I had made to the plugins still showed; i.e., the only output marked is epub as I had unticked everything else already. But the files still show up as kepub.

As I said, reordering the formats worked for a while, but then stopped. Now, I get an output that I haven't even selected.

So as to be compatible with my Sonys. I switch between devices by remembering page number, but kepub and epub numerate pages differently.

I think I have it now. Farther down in the configuration window there was a kepub permission that I unchecked and now the books are sideloading as epubs. Success! I can't replicate it now, nor on my Mini, so no doubt you'll be hearing from me when I want to undo it!

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.

Which means you are using the extended driver. If you aren't going to use kepubs, then uninstall it.

I had it disabled, which obviously wasn't sufficient. I still don't know why I was generating epubs for a while, but then reverted. Ah, well.
