Confusion with converting to epub?
I am confused with using Cailbra? I converted my books to epub, from kindle ready for my Kobo Clara, but in the folder has 4 different files within the folder, Metadate, AZW3,EPUB, cover.

So do I only copy over the EPUB file? Or the whole folder?

Just connect your Clara to Calibre and click the "Send to device" button. No need to copy the files from the library folder manually.

So just highlight them all, convert to EPUB, then send to device, so dont need to save to disk, which saves them to PC as a folder of each book containing 4 files which 3 are different formats

No, you don't need to save to disk to send them to your Kobo. It can be done directly from within Calibre (the program, not the library folder).
