Kobo decided to go the proprietary Digital Restriction Management (DRM) way by providing some ebooks bought on their platform in their in-house Kepub format. This means that they can only be read on a Kobo device.
You might have noticed that, when trying to copy an ebook from your Kobo device to your desktop Calibre library, it tells you it can’t do that because the book is “virtual”.
You can actually remove the DRMs from that format by using a plugin called Obok, part of the great DeDRM toolbox provided by Apprentice Harper.
- Download the latest obok_plugin.zip file from GitHub;
- Open Calibre (if you don’t have this amazing ebook management app already, install it);
- Install the plugin: `Preferences > Plugins > Load plugin from file`;
- Use the Obok plugin with your device plugged in: select the problematic Kepub ebook(s) and let it do its magic. You can now copy the ebook to your library without those pesky DRMs!
Perhaps the easiest way to convert EPUB books is to use one of the EPUB-to-KEPUB Calibre plug-ins available, such as KoboTouchExtended. This sort of plug-in does the conversion as part of the process of syncing a book to your reader device—it starts out as an EPUB on your hard drive, and ends up as a KEPUB on your Kobo reader. Ik heb al mijn boeken overgezet naar KePub formaat met Calibre (ze staan nu ook als Kobo epub in de de bibliotheek), maar er lijkt weinig te veranderen. Ik heb alleen wel de titel bovenaan de pagina nu, maar heb nog steeds geen toegang tot leesstatistieken van het betreffende boek en kan ook niet bij de geavanceerde instellingen van de weergave. Calibre plugins setup. After you install and start Calibre, you will need to install the two plugins (Calibre Preferences Plugins). KFX Input is available in the list of plugins, although you can also download it manually (see the linked forum thread at the beginning of the page). DeDRM is available from GitHub. Both plugins come as ZIP files. Hauppauge win tv driver for macfarmbertyl.
