kepubify question
I followed the directions for updating my calibre database and it mostly worked okay -- but doesn't kobo expect .kepub.epub as an extension? When I went to upload files via google drive (because calibre is currently not working with the new firmware), I had to rename them all with the .epub to get noticed.

I also saw a few books where covers didn't come with the kepub. How do I fix that?

I did -- and it worked, so thank you (and by version check I assume you mean check the box that says "try to support new firmware")

Side question: if a kepub exists in the folder, does the koboutilities extension use it, or does it reconvert?

The Kobo Utilities plugin does not care about .kepub files. calibre stores kepub files as .kepub to differentiate them from .epub so the extension needs to be changed from .kepub to .kepub.epub when sending to your Kobo.

For both the KoboTouch and KoboTouchExtended drivers (only enable ONE at a time), you will want to move kepub above epub on the first page of the driver configuration dialog.

The KoboTouchExtended driver will send an existing .kepub as .kepub.epub, if the .kepub does not exist in the calibre library, it will convert on the fly to kepub and send it as a .kepub.epub (page 4 of the driver configuration dialog to enable).

If you are using the KoboTouch driver and a kepub exists in the calibre library, it will be sent as a .kepub.epub otherwise an epub will be sent.

I store the few ePubs that have graphics or use ePub3 features that will benefit from using the Kobo WebKit based renderer as kepubs in my calibre library so I don't need to worry about the format conversion. I prefer to use kepubify to do the conversion in batches.

Does KePubify of KoboTouchExtended render better when you have hyphenation, kerning, and ligatures turned on with the KePub renderer?
