Hey, I have a problem here.
I've recently switched to Linux, so I'm kinda noob all-around. So to my problem: I use kepubify with my book -> it outputs as kepub.epub -> I add it to Calibre -> send it to my device (Libra 1, latest firmware). For some reason, the book shows up as a regular epub on Libra, not as kobo epub. What am I doing wrong here? I've tried it with several books, with both online and downloaded kepubify versions. I seem to remember it working fine on Windows. I assume it's something Calibre-related, been awhile since I've messed with it. What am I missing? Teach me your masterful ways, please |

May be that calibre itself send the normal epub and not the *.kepub.epub book to Your Libra. Did You set the driver configuration to send the kepub file? I seldom use kepubify but when I use it I create a *.kepub file using the --calibre option (and the -i option) and then I add it to calibre. At the end I sideload it to my Kobo. Calibre will send it as *.kepub.epub file. Last edited by ps67; 09-07-2022 at 10:06 AM. |

From the kepubify web site I've tried the instruction to convert my calibre library with kepubify. All went well until the last line (add to calibredb) which took ages to complete, something like 30 minuets, is there something wrong with line No4.
Just adding one epub and converting it to kepub it again takes ages to add the database, there must be a better way. Kepubify BTW is fantastic and doesn't have the problems I was having with the kepub converter plugin. Open PowerShell. Type $library = "C:\path\to\Calibre Library\", setting your library path accordingly, and press enter. This will set the path used in the next two commands. Type C:\path\to\kepubify.exe --calibre --update --inplace "$library", setting the path to kepubify accordingly, and press enter. This will convert any unconverted books. If you also want to re-convert books which are already converted, remove the --update. Type dir -Path "$library" -Filter *.kepub -Recurse | %{calibredb add -m 'ignore' $_.FullName} and press enter. This will add the converted books to the Calibre database. |

Thank for the reply, it works but has the following problem.
Unfortunately if it's run without first closing Calibre (easy mistake to make) then it throws a error after the conversion and stops before adding to the db, running again to add the kepubs to the database fails presumably because the date/time check fails the date of the previously converted books. Also converting a large number (tested with 100 books), some must fail the date/time check because not all are added to the database. The only way I found to recover from this is to run the original script. If you find time to look in to this, can I suggest running kepubify in "verbose" mode may be a way forward, the log this produces lists the converted books which need to be added to the db. |

For completeness:
I settled on the following small change to the above script. This allows a one hour window to complete adding the newly created kepub's to calibre's database. $ts = New-TimeSpan -Days 0 -Hours 1 -Minutes 0 $library = "D:\Calibre_Library\" $curdate = (get-date) - $ts D:\kepubify\kepubify-windows-64bit.exe --calibre --update --inplace "$library" dir -Path "$library" -Filter *.kepub -Recurse | Where-Object { $_.CreationTime -gt $curdate} | %{calibredb add -m 'ignore' $_.FullName} |

I don't know if kepubify is supposed to do this, but I had an EPUB that wouldn't allow me to change the font face, and after using kepubify on it, I'm able to change the font, so thank you!

Unsuccessful getting Kepubify to work with Mint 21.2
I'm embarrassed I can't get kepubify to work. D/led the 64bit Linux version, run chmod -x on the binary, but am stuck because kepubify doesn't respond to drag and drop and (not surprisingly) the terminal doesn't recognize the kepubify command--does it belong in a special directory? Any help appreciated.

From the command line you can either specify the whole path to where the program is /home/me/downloaded/kepubify
Or if you're IIN the same directory as it ./kepubify Now did you mean chmod -x (remove executable setting) or chmod +x (set executable setting)? Sent from my Pixel 6a using Tapatalk |
