To be fair, some of the marketing IBM has put out in the past has been inspired. The kind of stuff only a legacy brand can pull off. My issue with this is that the quality isnt great. Its just not creative.

    Calibre 8.0 Brings Major Kobo Upgrade and KEPUB Support Arrive
    [09:57] schestowitz[TR2]
    [09:57] schestowitz[TR2]

    One of the most exciting features is the substantially improved Kobo support. Users can now natively edit, view, and convert KEPUB files, which are widely used by the Kobo platform.

    [09:57] schestowitz[TR2]

    Moreover, Calibre 8.0 automatically converts EPUB files to KEPUB whenever sent to a Kobo devicethough this behavior is configurable for those who want a different setup.
