Spent a few nights this week, and most of the day today, writing a new GNOME App.
It lets you convert epubs to Kobo-formatted kepub files, and copies it directly onto your Kobo for you.
The code lives here: https://codeberg.org/nathandyer/Kepublicity
I'm going to request an app icon, then once that's ready I'll of course submit it to Flathub.
@deimidis Thank you!
If you're comfortable building it from source feel free to give it a try using the repository I linked. If you find any issues, please don't hesitate to file a bug report.
And if you're not comfortable building from source, no problem, I'll be sure to let you (and everyone) know when the 0.1 release is officially out.
@nathandyer Great, I have other model.
Codeberg is down now, but I will try later.
@nieuemma Yes and no.
Kobos have two different renderers, and normal epubs use Adobe’s Reader Mobile SDK which has a lot of trouble properly displaying books. It's a miserable experience.
Kepubs get rendered in Kobo’s native WebKit-based reader, which is way nicer.
If you're curious, this post goes more in depth about the differences: https://andreklein.net/your-epub-is-fine-kobo-disagrees-blame-adobe/
