Side question: if a kepub exists in the folder, does the koboutilities extension use it, or does it reconvert?
The Kobo Utilities plugin does not care about .kepub files. calibre stores kepub files as .kepub to differentiate them from .epub so the extension needs to be changed from .kepub to .kepub.epub when sending to your Kobo.

For both the KoboTouch and KoboTouchExtended drivers (only enable ONE at a time), you will want to move kepub above epub on the first page of the driver configuration dialog.

The KoboTouchExtended driver will send an existing .kepub as .kepub.epub, if the .kepub does not exist in the calibre library, it will convert on the fly to kepub and send it as a .kepub.epub (page 4 of the driver configuration dialog to enable).

If you are using the KoboTouch driver and a kepub exists in the calibre library, it will be sent as a .kepub.epub otherwise an epub will be sent.

I store the few ePubs that have graphics or use ePub3 features that will benefit from using the Kobo WebKit based renderer as kepubs in my calibre library so I don't need to worry about the format conversion. I prefer to use kepubify to do the conversion in batches.
