@Sirtel must have reasons for their choice. Both of my Kobos behave the same, so I just use Extended mode |

Also you can install patches on your Kobo that improve the layout, typesetting and many other things. No rooting or jailbreak needed. Having used Kindles in the past, I must say I like the way my books look on my Kobos far better - I can customize the look in almost any way I want. With Kindles one is considerably more limited (unless you jailbreak and install KOReader). |

The reason for my choice is simple: I like the way epubs look more on the 7" screen of my Libra (esp. word spacing). On the 8" screen of my Sage there is less difference, so I use kepubs.

Vellum is far worse then stupid. InDesign is stupid for ePub. Vellum is downright atrocious,

Here is the code I use. It's under the KobotTouchExtended Extended tab. Select Send books as kepus and also check Use template for kepubification next to this is where the program code goes). You may or may not want to check the option to Upload DRM -encumbered ePub files. Code:
program: $#kepub == 'yes' |

I simply have a few saved searches that I use to edit new purchases. Usually takes a MINUTE to bash it into My Way. |

It takes so little time to fire off the DEBUG in the Calibre editor. Why not?
I know which warnings I can ignore. While I expect to see a few errors with Self Pub, I also see some rally bad ones from major houses. (Major, not just sloppy, but functional code). |

Haven't needed so far. And it may take little time with one book, but the time adds up when doing fifty, hundred, two hundred... Yes, I buy a lot. And often I start to clean up my purchases when I have accumulated a fair amount.

The KoboTouch driver that comes with calibre does not convert to kepub. To have that feature, you need to add the KoboTouchExtended driver and check the convert to kepub box. The few times I want to send kepubs, I use Kobo Utilities to switch the driver.
