I had forgotten that Joel stated that. But, I can't see anything in the code that will stop it. With the main driver now supporting the Aura HD, the extended driver should be OK as well. Trying it won't break anything. At worst, a book that gets copied over won't work properly in the device.

Because each device has its own ID. This makes each device unique. The plugin may not recognize the device as a Kobo one, despite it running the same firmware. The device ID of the Aura probably needs to be added to the plugin.

The epub to kepub plugin currently results in books that cannot be accessed/opened from the home page on the Aura. Their covers do not display on the home page, either. The books are fine when opened from the library.
EDIT: I was wrong. I had configured David's plugin but did not do the configuration that appears as a drop down next to the device icon. When I did that, I was magically healed. Last edited by taming; 04-26-2013 at 06:30 PM. |

I know it is probably a stupid question - but what the difference between a regular epub and kepub? Apart from the name ofcourse.

Edit: I do see one issue though, each time I open the book the bottom line of text is cut off, as soon as I page forward and then back again the text shows properly and I don't see the issue again until I open the book again. Last edited by jiminrussell; 04-26-2013 at 09:57 AM. |

EDIT: yup, that is it. Books that have had the epub kepub conversion show up on the home page, can be opened from the home page just fine when they are in main memory, but not from the SD card.

Here is image of the cut off text I see at the bottom of kepubs created using this epub to kepub plugin, not sure if it does this only Aura HD or not, but paging forward and then back again resolves the issue. |

I just checked with my Touch and it had no problems whether the book was on the card or the main memory

They really make some unfortunate choices with their software. I notice with ePub , without the title there is almost no margin at top, but still large empty space at bottom. It looks very unappealing. Kepub at least has the virtue of symmetry; unfortunately, it's symmetry of wasted space. People talk about the home screen and library view and organizing and all that, but those are all minor consideration for me. The reading screen has to be right, otherwise it's no go for me |

I don't think 1 or two cm vertically is a deal breaker when it is carefully considered. I calculate the difference as 1.6 cm vertically and 1 cm. horizontally (portrait mode) It is only 1 cm for the line number with epubs I believe and I like the line number displayed. I do not like to have to push a button or tap in an area to see it. Personal preference I know. The added horizontal space is just as significant to me, maybe more so and it seems to be largely ignored. More characters per line = more characters per page and no extra space is taken up by the spacing between lines. The increased resolution means either a smaller font size that I can read or more importantly a wider range in which to find my most comfortable reading settings. The missing 1 cm. (2 cm if you use kepubs?) means I will have to turn an extra page about every 20 or 30 pages. I am sure there is someone who keeps track and says to themselves oh no there is that extra page turn again, but not me:0. I am not a big Kobo fan and I don't hate kindles, all things being equal I would buy Sony, but fickle me, I will go for the superior hardware every time and hope that the software catches up. Helen |

I just compared across Aura vs Glo using the same book and found that the Aura had 4 more physical lines on the page, but 8 more lines worth of content than the Glo with the same font/line spacing/margin settings.
