## Converting to Kepub format
Many of the books you'll find around are in .epub format, but some books have a hard time loading
and/or freeze the kobo device in this format. Best practice is to convert it to kobo's proprietary format .kepub.
This can be accomplished using the [calibre software](https://calibre-ebook.com/download), which you can download
from your Artix's repos in the extra mirrors. You'll need to also get some plugins to automatically convert it.
See [this github repo](https://github.com/jgoguen/calibre-kobo-driver) on how to install plugins. Once done, ALWAYS
mount your kobo device using calibre and copy the .epub files to the kobo directly, this will automatically convert
it if you use the KoboTouchExtended plugin specifically (though all kobo and kepub plugins are encouraged to be installed.)
