(A question I can answer! If you want to side load epubs, very easy to do. |

No... The kEpubs are what you get via either a kobo desktop sync or a Kobo device WiFi sync.

But you can use the plugin for Calibre that transfers epubs as kepubs. You don't have to convert them, the plugin simply sends them to the Kobo ereader in kepub format. Edit: Well, seems I was a little slow. |

Well, I guess I shouldn't go into all that mess then. I just wanted to do same as I do with Amazon - download on Mac, liberate, sideload. Seems more complicated with Kobo...And I thought they are the ones that are more free...

You can do exactly that. And it is what I generally do. The only thing I like about the kepub reader is the reading progress info.

One more question - If I convert my Amazon file to epub, will the same plugin send that epub as kepub? |

They don't need to be kepubs to work on any Kobo reader, Aura included. They all handle epub (with or without Adobe drm). And once you have the plugin installed, if you really want to have kepubs instead of epubs, it's no more complicated than liberating your ebooks. |

I saw the bug yesterday using Georgia. Today I wiped the micro-SD card and resent all my books using Calibre 0.9.28. The same book now does not seem to show the "long paragraph" bug! Also, book covers as screen savers are now sharp, as expected. |
