When you click "Send to Device", a DeviceJob is queued up. That DeviceJob calls a specific function that all drivers are required to implement which handles sending the book(s) to the connected device. The extended Kobo driver hooks into this method of the mainline Kobo driver (if you know some object-oriented coding, technically KoboTouchExtended extends KoboTouch, implements the appropriate method, and calls the superclass method) and so only one send-to-device conversion may run at any time.

What you may consider is using the KePub Output plugin. It allows you to convert books in your calibre library to KePub format, and multiple conversions can be done at once that way. The KoboTouchExtended driver is aware of this and will skip the conversion process for .kepub books in calibre. Just make sure you enable kepub as a format in the extended driver options (the big list at the too of the settings window) and that kepub is higher than epub in the list.
Ah, crud, oh well, I can live with the extra time then, if it spares me another step in my book transfer flow :F

I noticed a small difference between what the plugin does to "kepub"ize an epub, and what a native kepub looks like. I've got two versions of the same book: one version originally with Adobe DRM, and the other version originally with Kobo DRM.

I was originally trying to see why the images at the start of each chapter didn't display immediately. Going forward a page and then backwards showed the image... I haven't worked out why yet, but I did notice a difference in the markup.

Essentially, a div which just contains an image gets wrapped in the kepub with a koboSpan; a kepubized epub does not.

Native decrypted kepub:

Quote:
<body><div id="book-columns"><div id="book-inner">
<h2 class="chapter_head"><a id="pg335"/><span class="koboSpan" id="kobo.1.1">C</span><span class="small"><span class="koboSpan" id="kobo.2.1">HAPTER</span></span><span class="koboSpan" id="kobo.3.1"> 22</span></h2>

<div class="centered_image"><span class="koboSpan" id="kobo.4.1"><img alt="image" height="128" src="../Images/chapter22.jpg" width="133"/></span></div>
Kepubized (grabbed from the .kepub.epub file on my Aura):

Quote:
<body>
<h2 class="chapter_head"><a id="pg335"></a><span class="koboSpan" id="kobo.1.1">C</span><span class="small"><span class="koboSpan" id="kobo.2.1">HAPTER</span></span><span class="koboSpan" id="kobo.2.2"> 22</span></h2>

<div class="centered_image"><img src="../Images/chapter22.jpg" alt="image" width="133" height="128"/></div>

Please submit a Launchpad bug report for this? The directions ask for a book demonstrating the issue, but that won't be needed for this report. Just make sure to include the two HTML snippets you put here.

New version posted. KoboTouchExtended 2.2.16 fixes bug 1324884, requiring that image tags be wrapped in koboSpan tags and allowing other tags requiring this same special treatment to also be processed more easily in the future.

Hi, Joel. Thank you very much for your awesome plugin!

I detected an undesired effect with the 2.2.16 version: <span> duplication.
Original: <p class="tlogo"><span><img alt="" src="../Images/logo.png" width="100%" /></span></p>
Previous: <p class="tlogo"><span><img src="../Images/logo.png" alt="" width="100%"/></span></p>
Current: <p class="tlogo"><span><span class="koboSpan" id="kobo.1.1"><img alt="" src="../Images/logo.png" width="100%"/></span></span></p>

At CSS:
.tlogo { margin:0 0.25em; text-align:center; text-indent:0; }
.tlogo span { margin:3em 0 2.5em; display:inline-block; width:8em; }

Thus the double <spans> add double space.

It would be possible to detect this situation and add the class="koboSpan" id="kobo.x.x" to the precedent empty <span>, please?


TIA (and sorry for my terrible English)
jugaor


PS: It's impossible to change epubs' code/css, bc it's a fixed template for collaborative work. And this ugly way is the only working solution to ensure compatibility with iBooks.

Submit a bug report please. For the book attachment, please give me a sample book using the template that has a chapter header, an image, and two paragraphs of text. Use a Lorem Ipsum generator if you want a quick two paragraphs.

Kobo Aura 3.3.0
Ok, I have tried to find an answer for my question on this thread, but I couldn't. So sorry if it's a repeated question.

I installed the conversion and the extended plugin in Calibre. Converted my books to Kepub and many thanks, it solved a lot of characters encoding problems that I had, beside I like the way Kobo books look with the top and bottom margins (boo to me ).

I do get the remaining pages indicator at the footer, which is GREAT!!!! thanks! but I don't get "reading stats", is it working in Kobo Aura + Framework 3.3.0?

I'm not sure if the sample book I had on my Kobo is DRM free (for reference.kepub.epub), could this be the problem?

Thanks a lot for this wonderful plugin!

allochi: The in-book stats were removed by Kobo for sideloaded kepubs last year. From memory, it was firmware version 2.9.0. Which also means that the Aura never displayed them. This was discussed a lot at the time both in this thread and the Kobo sub-forum. A practical and safe workaround was not found.

Thanks a lot, this save me time, I read as much as I can from this thread, but I was confused as if it's doable or not.

I hope we find a way to do it, it's a really nice feature to have specially when you are reading textbooks, I have bought some math books from Kobo store and I like how stats keep me motivated.

Thanks again for the answer, and I still love the format fix and the chapter remaining pages indicator with the kepub converter

Hello, I used the plugin but I realize that I don't like the header at the top and the chapter division in epubs. How do I make them behave like before?

Remove the book from your device, disable the extended plugin, enable the main KoboTouch driver, restart calibre, and send the book back to your device.

Error when trying to use the kobo extended driver
Hi.
I'm using calibre 1.4.0 with a Kobo Aura HD running firmware 3.3.0

I get the following error when trying to copy a file to my device:

calibre, version 1.40.0
ERROR: Error: Error communicating with device

Any ideas what might be the issue?

File a bug report and give me all the requested information. My access is sporadic at the moment, and will likely continue to be sporadic for the next few weeks, but I'll see what I can do.

In the meantime (and AFTER you file a bug and give me all the information I need) you may be able to resolve this by using the Modify Epub plugin. Specifically, if this is caused by what I think it is, you want these modifications:
  • Removing missing file entries from the .opf manifest
  • Add unmanifested files to manifest
The first one is the important one, the second is a precaution but I recommend doing both at once.

If you obtained this book from an online retailer, I would recommend also going back to the store you purchased it from and telling them that the book has errors in the ePub TOC data, possibly also the ePub spine data.

There is nothing wrong with a true retail version of A Game of Thrones. If there is a ToC issue (such as the XML ToC is missing and not take out of the OPF), then it's not retail and no help should be given.
