This looks great. Under 'compatible e-pub' format it says "all devices except kindles and kobos" -- I thought epub files worked on kobos?

- acabal 6y agoYou can transfer a regular epub to a Kobo, but it will trigger the ADE renderer, which is garbage. Think IE6-level rendering. Using a kepub file will trigger Kobo's better native renderer, which I strongly suspect is Webkit-based and can render lots of advanced CSS and even MathML.
- SamBam 6y agoHuh. I have two Kobos, a Kobo Clara HD and an older Kobo Glo HD from 2016, and I've never had any trouble sideloading epubs using Calibre. Perhaps the quality is lower, but I've certainly never noticed, compared with the books I've bought directly from Kobo.
