I sideload all my ebooks to my Kobo Glo using calibre. Until recently, epubs converted with calibre (that is, having a .epub extension) appeared as EPUB in the books list. Only ebooks downloaded from Kobo bookstore appeared as KOBO EPUB in that list.
Recently, epubs converted using calibre and sideload into my Glo started appearing as KOBO EPUB -- I checked the files in the Kobo Reader and noticed that .epub files sideloaded with calibre now have a .kepub.epub extension. Older books, sideload some time ago (before calibre v. 1.16.0) still appear as EPUB (that is, have a .epub extension).
I am not sure what is causing this: the new calibre (v. 1.16.0) or the latest firmware upgrade (from 3.1.0 to 3.1.1 -- I had to connected to my wireless network and this upgrade sneaked in).
I would not bother you guys with this problem, but these .kepub.epub files do not open properly when you are reopening a book that was previously open. The reader freezes, showing only the title of the book on the top of the screen and the chapter/page number at the bottom of the screen. I have to switch the reader off and on and to mark the book as unread if I want to open it again. If I only put the reader to sleep, pages turn properly.
I am not sure if this is related to calibre v. 1.16.0 or to the new firmware. Is calibre sideloading my .epub files as .kepub.epub? Is there a way of avoiding this behavior? Or is the problem related to the new firmware version (3.1.1)?
What would happen if I manually delete the .kepub.epub file from the Kobo directory and replace it with the .epub file from the calibre library? The Kobo database will understand that?
Thank you a lot.
