epub > kepub > kobo using the web browser

[els76uk]

I have until now been uploading books from Calibre to my Kobo using a USB cable. I've got the DeDRM plugin, as well as KoboTouchExtended. Everything works great.

I'd prefer to download using the Calibre web browser, but when I do that, the KoboTouchExtended plugin doesn't do its thing, and many books are unreadable.

How do I get the plugin to work properly when I use the Calibre web browser?

You can't. The KTE plugin is intended to work with Kobo ereaders connected directly to calibre.

You would need to use either the KePub Output plugin for calibre to create kepub ebooks stored in your calibre library or geek1011's kepubify to externally convert epubs to kepubs and then store them in your calibre library.

What measure are you using for 'unreadable'?

GIGO should still apply to either way transferred.

Not having access to KEPUB features does no make a book 'unreadable'

Millions read books in EPUB, as shipped from the store. (Not saying that there are not some really poor examples out there )

thanks, this worked perfectly!

is there any way to make calibre convert automatically on import, or does it have to be done manually each time?
