Ebook profiles
Using profiles targetting a specific device ensures Ebooks have a fixed layout and can fill the entire screen (no white bars).
Kobo EPUBs uses a custom KEPUB extension, which is generally not supported in other devices.
Implies --nowebp, --epub, --bw, and --size. These options can be changed by explicitly setting them.
Kobo devices also support CBZ, and if you prefer that format you can use --cbz.

Kindle devices are much more restrictive with ebook formats.
Amazon uses a bullshit proprietary format internally, so you can't directly sideload EPUBs via USB, you need to use the "Send to Kindle" service, which has a 200MB limit.
Implies --epub, --bw, and --size. These options can be changed by explicitly setting them.
