All the kepubs I have were bought (none were converted from epubs). So all should be of the right format.
I buy them from Fnac, which is a bookseller associated with Kobo. From what I understood, they share their catalogue of ebooks and their database of customers; however, there has been a problem when synchronising their databases for my account and since then, when I connect to Kobo website (or when I use their desktop app), it does not see my latest purchases. However, when I connect to Fnac website, it sees my purchase and gives me a direct link on Kobo server, which allows me to download it "manually". I then have to transfer it to the device, it is where I use Calibre (I import the kepub to Calibre, then ask Calibre to send it to the device, sometimes after adding or modifying some metadata within Calibre; I did not install any plugin except yours). The best is that I continue to hope that Fnac and Kobo will finally fix the problem they have acknowledge, so that I can use Kobo desktop app or direct Wi-Fi download again. No need to spend more time on my very specific problem, but if you want an example of my kepub, no problem (some are "purchased" but in fact are free). I will also try your suggestions with Calibre KoboTouchExtended driver. Thanks again for your help and all your information. I understand better the limits of Calibre with kepubs.

As to changing the metadata, calibre can't update the metadata or cover in a kepub. As I said before, it's knowledge of kepubs is fairly low. |

Most of us have never seen the ability to directly download a kepub from Kobo's web site.

What it is missing is the attribute 'properties="cover-image"' for the cover image in the OPF file. Editing the content.opf file in the kepub, and changing the line: Code:
<item id="img1" href="images/img1.jpg" media-type="image/jpeg"></item> Code:
<item id="img1" href="images/img1.jpg" media-type="image/jpeg" properties="cover-image"></item> I suppose it is time to add the code to calibre to handle the metadata in a kepub. Mostly, it is just subclassing the epub handling, but I think the above needs to be done as well. |

Restoring from the last good backup actually did me good as I was able to change my device's affiliate and finally get version 3.8 (I had RakutenBooks as my original affiliate) and get back around 200mb of space, which is a surprise because my Aura had the same amount of books before and after I did it. |

My recover from a factory reset method is: - Do the setup - Connect to calibre - Send all books that had not been read or are in progress - Disconnect and let the device process the books - Connect to calibre - Restore reading position for all the books on the device - Disconnect and start reading I take a factory reset as a sign I should remove some books from the device. If something happens to corrupt the database, then I restore the last good backup. And restore the reading position for books that have been read since then. Quote:

ebookskippy: Could you run calibre in debug mode and post the log? That should show me what is happening.
To run in debug mode, right click the preferences button and select "Run in debug mode". Calibre will restart and display a message about the log. Then connect the device and wait for the connection jobs to run. Then run the shelf fetch. After you get the error, close calibre. It will then show the log. Post the full log for me to look at. Or PM it to me. |

When I run from a terminal, I get lots of debugging information from this plugin. Was some debug statement accidentally left on or do I have some debug setting enabled? I'm not using calibre-debug, and I only see info from this plugin.

Are the messages from the jobs the the plugins start? If so, then yes, I left a debug setting enabled. I'll fix that
If it is from elsewhere. then I don't know. Most of the debug logging relies on calibre know if it is in debug mode or not. If you see something that looks like it didn't come from a job, can you post it so I can hunt it down? |

Calibre will announce the update in the next hour or so. As usual, if there are any problems, please report them here and I will look into. |
