Send to Device: a book in two formats

Dal Bhat · Yesterday, 05:44 PM

Assume a book in a calibre library in both epub and azw3 formats.

With either a Kindle connected or a Kobo, what happens during the send?

The list of book formats that will be sent to a device is listed in the driver configuration in preferred order. So a Kobo would receive a format from its list and a Kindle would receive a format from its list. If I remember correctly, if you select a book that does have a format enabled in the device list, a format will be selected, converted and sent.

One friend of mine uses both Kobo and Kindle devices but keeps only ePubs in their library. When a Kindle is connected, the ePub will be converted to AZW3/KF8 before sending.

And in converse, if the book(s) is azw3 in the library and a Kobo is connected, calibre converts it on the fly with send?

Yes. Personally, I prefer to have ePubs in my library and as a source format for other formats.
