Frequently asked questions
What is a kePub file?
kePub is Kobo's optimized version of the EPUB format. It is still a standard EPUB container, but with invisible sentence-level markers (koboSpans) and Kobo layout wrappers added for reading statistics and precise bookmarks.
Why convert kePub back to standard EPUB?
kePub files sometimes render with odd spacing or layout on non-Kobo readers and apps, and a few tools fail to open them at all. Stripping the Kobo-specific markup produces a standard EPUB that works everywhere.
Will the conversion lose my reading stats or notes?
No. Reading statistics and annotations are stored on your Kobo device, not inside the file. The conversion only changes the file itself — though Kobo will treat the new EPUB as a separate book.
Does converting kePub to EPUB reduce quality?
No. The conversion only removes Kobo's invisible markers and layout wrappers. The text, images, and styles are preserved exactly as they were.
