Hi there, im a newbie so sorry if Im being too ignorant on my concerns.
First, one of the reasons I bought my Kobo Glo this week was that I was aware of its 2.1 update in which the device became able to deiver readings statistics such as book or chapter remaining time.
I realize now that this function works perfectly with kepubs but not at all with sideloaded epubs
(I didnt understand in the statements above regarding drivers, im really a beginner but I hope I can find an easy solution)

I already tried changing the extension from .epub to kepub.epub and it didnt work as well as I hoped because:
1)the book loses its cover
2)on the low bar where the number of pages I read and the total number of pages, well, this feature is exchanged for the name of the chapter - but its a random name the kobo segregated as a chapter.
3) As briefly mentioned, the kobo doesnt recognize real chapters but it segregates long paragraphs as if they were new chapters. So a long book becomes annoyingly with hundreds of chapters along the way and no possible way to tell how many total pages it has.

So in the end, I would stick to the regular epub

Or am I missing something? Someway to calibrate it on calibre or something like it? It would really mean a lot to me to have this feature of tracking reading habits available
