kobo touch extended driver creates kepub in calibre library

dhampny · 12-21-2021, 11:21 AM

Please excuse me if this has been asked and answered already. I've searched but haven't been able to find an answer to what I see happening when I use the kobo touch extended driver.

My understanding is that the driver should create a kepub file only on my Libra 2 or Forma when I send an epub to it. However, in my case, the driver also creates a kepub format file in my Calibre library. So I end up with both epub and kepub format files of the book. It does correctly convert the epub format of my ebook and send it to the Kobo as a kepub (kobo epub) ebook.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks.

This really is a Calibre/plugin question. More help and discussion specific to the driver:

There are very knowledgeable contributors there who typically respond fairly quickly.
