That is well beyond what this plugin is designed to do. Asides, the difference between a kepub and epub is only noticeable when using a Kobo ereader. Since calibre now has a built-in conversion to kepub when sending to a Kobo ereader that takes care of that possibility.

I love this Plugin because of how it completely preserves how the HTML & CSS is within the file, particularly if you have multiiple selectors for a tag, rather than what Calibre does which is truncate them into one single selector. (It's not my preference to have multiple sectors for how I buld my books, but rather that most of the ebooks I read are formated this way.)

Having said that, if it is out of the scope/abilities of the Plugin, that is fair and I understand! Thanks for the quick reply!

That is one of my favourite items about this plugin. If the Amazon azw3/KF8 format ebook was generated from an ePub, the ePub it generates comes very close to the original. In many ways, I prefer this to the calibre conversion approach which often bears little resemblance to the CSS of the original ePub or even the CSS you see when opening the azw3/KF8 with calibre's ebook-editor.

Admittedly, I have a set of saved searches in Sigil that remove much of the complexity from Vellum generated ePubs but does require something very close to the original ePub to be useful.

I know absolutely nothing about Kobo's keypub format. Nor do I care to learn at this point. I don't mean that rudely. I simply don't have the time nor the interest.

Which is a fair and valid response! Thanks for the response!
