Mostly ePub. Even when I buy a book on Kobo, I often customize the font and margins, which changes the KePub into an ePub. I don't think the ePub to KePub Calibre plugin works on Linux. (Maybe I'm wrong on that?) Never saw much reason to use it, even if it did work. But I'm probably missing something.

Yes, you are wrong on that. It only uses calibre functions, or straight Python, so there are no dependencies on the OS.

After buying a kobo I find I like my kindles a tad better. you can rent library books on both but easier on a kobo device. Kindle you have to go to a pc on kobo you do it right on the device

Edit: just tried the calibre kepub output plugin and geek1011's kepubify standalone program and no issues with either that I did not also have under Windows on the half dozen books I used for testing. The VM is running OpenSUSE Tumbleweed with it's latest updates of the day. Edit2: I don't normally use kepub on my Kobos. |

The Obok plugin removes Kobo's proprietary DRM. It does not do any modifications to the internals of the epub. If you open the imported file with an editor, the mass of spans added as part of the kepub creation are still there.

I guess I need to look into this a little more. Once I convert the former KePubs to the margins and font I like I was happy just using them that way because they didn't have a header (which I didn't like). Now, with the new firmware, it doesn't matter. |

![]() Out of curiosity, why do you adjust the margins and fonts and what do you adjust them to? Is it something beyond what Kobo allows in the settings? I convert all of my books because I buy them from Amazon. I always go through them with Sigil, because sometimes the text isn't justified or the table of contents isn't good enough. |

For sideloaded books on a Kobo device, it is simply whether the extension is ".epub" or ".kepub.epub" whether it is treated as an epub or kepub. |

I don't know how to use Sigil. I tried it once and it seemed like a really complicated application. But I understand it is a very powerful eBook editor. That said, for now Calibre seems to do what I need. (Not that I won't try to learn Sigil somewhere down the line. Right now I'm learning AsciiDoc (and AsciiDoctor) and I'm impressed. Very easy to make ePubs with it. |

From what I remember, the book editor in Calibre basically was Sigil, just rendered a little differently. I haven't used the Calibre editor in a long time, so my memories are a little fuzzy. |

I didn't know that. I think I'll experiment a little with this. I don't know how I missed this post yesterday. Thanks.

No, the calibre ebook editor is a completely separate entity. It was started when it looked like Sigil was being abandoned. Kovid's intention was to get it on par with the Sigil function and then see what else he wanted to do. It is quite different. Replacing Sigil might have been a starting point, but the similarities are just as much "that's how editors work" as comparing to Sigil.
