## Transfer Books to a Device
To transfer books to a device connect a e-reader to the computer.
After a while calibre should recognize the device which will be apparent by the appearance of
additional buttons on the top menu like the `Send to device`- and the `Device`-Button.
First make sure only the formats you want will be transfered.
This can be done by selecting `Device`, `File formats` and checking the formats as needed.
Afterwards select the books and press `Send to device` to start the process of transfering the
devices.
Alternatively only specific formats of the books can be send to the device by selecting
`Send specific format to` and `Main memory` under the `Send to device` menu.
If there are books that contain series metadata make sure to disconnect the e-reader once and
reconnect it.
Afterwards select `Update cached metadata on device` under `Device` to update the metadata
including the series.
Finally disconnect the device.
## KEPUB Format
The `.kepub` format is a format that is similar to a normal epub but has some performance
improvements for Kobo devices.
It is recommended to convert `.mobi` and `.epub` files to a `.kepub` file before
[transfering it to a Kobo device](#transfer-books-to-a-device).
For this the Plugin `KePub Output` by Joel Goguen [can be added](#adding-a-plugin).
Afterwards books can be converted the normal way, but now the output format `.kepub` is available.
