As an eBook lover, especially a loyal Kobo eReader fan, I guess you must want to take full advantage of your Kobo device and make all the downloaded eBooks readable on it. For books purchased from Kobo eBook store, if we sync them via Kobo desktop or Kobo eReader, we usually get file in kepub format, which is created by Kobo and based on the standard EPUB format. But sometimes, we may also get EPUB files from other online eBook suppliers and want to view them on our Kobo eReader, we transferred them to Kobo device, finally just find they don't work well on Kobo at all. The EPUB doesn't offer some features present on Kepub. How can we solve the problem? In fact, if you need, you can convert EPUB to Kepub and get some extra reading features on Kepub. How to? Keep reading, you will learn how to convert epub to kepub in this article.

Why we need to convert EPUB to Kepub?

Compared with EPUB, Kepub does have a few key features that attract some Kobo users. Here I have listed the possible reasons you prefer Kepub and need to convert EPUB to Kepub:

• Quicker to respond to page turn gestures
• Faster text selection (e.g. when highlighting large areas of text)
• Support for footnote previews
• The zoom possibilities for pictures
• Page numbers show the number of page turns remaining in the current chapter instead of the estimated number of pages for the entire book. (If you don't want this, there is an option in the driver settings to force full-book page numbers.)
• The book title is shown at the top of each page.
• The chapter title, if any, is shown at the bottom of each page with the page numbers.

I guess you may say, changing the file from .epub extension to the .kepub extension is OK and it's rather easy. But things will not be so simple. If you just change the extension, when you close and reopen the book, you will always be taken to the start of the chapter you were in. Any annotations stored will not be redisplayed in the book. A conversion of EPUB to Kepub will solve the problem.

How can we convert EPUB to Kepub

For converting EPUB to Kepub without limitation, we'd better make sure the EPUB files are DRM free. Here you can use the eBook DRM Removal tool --Epubor Ultimate to decrypt DRMed EPUB files, then start converting EPUB to Kepub. It's a powerful DRM decryption program, compare with other similar software, its friendly and clean interface make it easier to use. Besides, conversion speed is also super fast. You can download it for free trial.

The detailed steps on removing epub DRM with Epubor Ultimate, please read:

After we have got the DRM free EPUB files, how can we convert EPUB to Kepub? Which eBook converter should we use? Here I recommend you a free but powerful eBook management tool Calibre, but we should know the fact that itself doesn't support Kepub formats. To convert EPUB to Kepub, we need to install a plugin--KoboTouchExtended to enhance it. This plugin enables some additional features to the Kobo Touch, Glo, Mini, Aura HD, and Aura. When transferring EPUB books to Kobo device, it will automatically convert EPUB to Kepub. Now just follow the steps below to start conversion.

Please ensure you have download and install Calibre already.

Step 1: Get the plugin

Click 'Preference' on the menu bar, a window below will pop up, then tap 'Plugins' under 'Advanced'.

Next, you will see a following dialogue, simply click 'Get new plugins' button on the bottom left corner to find the KoboTouchExtended plugin.

As there are so many plugins listed, we can enter 'kobo' in the search box behind 'Filter by name', then we will find the KoboTouchExtended plugin easily. Simply select this plugin, hit 'Install' button to install it. You may see an alert about the security risk, ignore it and click 'Yes'.

Step 2: Convert EPUB to Kepub Calibre

• Connect your Kobo eReader to computer with USB.
• Add EPUB files you need to convert to Kepub to Calibre.
• Select EPUB files you want to send to device and click 'Send to device' button.

When the transfer has been finished, you can see the job status turns to 'zero', open your KoboeReader drive, in the root folder, you will find there are several new created folders which are named as author's name. Open it, you can see your transferred EPUB files have become .kepub.epub format.

Eject your Kobo, wait for a while, then you can see your newly copied files.

By the way, there is another plugin which can also convert EPUB to Kepub, it's KePub Output. After you installed it, when you convert EPUB files, you can see Kepub in the list of output format.

If you’ve read any of my reviews for Kobo eReaders lately, the Kobo Mini, Kobo Glo, and Kobo Aura HD, you’ll notice that I complain a lot about how Kobo chooses to format ebooks.

Kobo Clara Calibre 3

My main issue is with all the wasted space. Kobo insists on adding a huge bar at the bottom of a page to display page numbers, and another huge bar at the top of the screen to display the title (seriously Kobo, like I can’t figure out what book I’m reading that I need to be reminded on every single freaking page).

There’s also the fact most Kobo ebooks have spaces between paragraphs instead of indented paragraphs, which wastes even more space. Personally I just want my ebooks to look as close as possible to the paper books I’ve been reading my whole life, which means indented paragraphs and justified text.

And don’t get me started on how much I hate the long paragraph bug that makes it so there’s even more wasted space at the bottom of the page for certain books and fonts.

The irony is that Kobo’s ereaders offer more layout and font adjusting options than any other brand, but when it comes right down to it there are too many limitations and variables to make good use of the settings. In fact I can’t think of an ebook reader or app that annoys me more than Kobo’s software.

Luckily, there’s a great free ebook tool called Calibre that you can use to re-format your ebooks to have more control over formatting. With the proper settings you can easily minimize wasted space and remove spaces between paragraphs. You can even get rid of the entire big bar of wasted space at the top of the screen (unless you are running firmware version 2.5.2).

Kobo Formatting Tip: Minimizing Wasted Space

Awhile back a reader named Evenft left a comment about what settings to use with Calibre to minimize wasted space. Here’s the procedure below, and here’s the link to some pictures showing the settings in Calibre if you need a visual.

You can use Calibre’s conversion feature to change the CSS settings in an ebook. If you are converting regular DRM-free ePubs all you have to do is import them and follow the directions below. If you want to convert purchased ebooks from Kobo you’ll have to login to your account and download the copies first, which requires using Adobe Digital Editions, and then import them into Calibre to convert them. You can also easily remove the DRM if you choose to make it so you can read your ebooks on other ereaders and apps.

– After importing the ebooks into Calibre, select the ones you want to modify and choose “Convert books”.

– Make sure the output format is ePub.

– Click on the “Look & Feel” tab. Enter the following code into the Extra CSS box:

body {orphans: 0; widows: 0}

– You can check the box to remove spaces between paragraphs too.

– There’s also the option to remove existing CSS properties for fonts, margins, and padding under “Filter Style Information”.

– You can choose to set default line spacing to 0% and margins to 0 pt as well.

Some of these settings aren’t needed depending on how the ebook is originally formatted. The two most important things are adding the extra code in the CSS box and checking to remove spaces between paragraphs.
