Yes, the Obok fix is available at GitHub. Not in the official release, but it's there on the code page.

I've released v6.5.2 at my GitHub repository.
Several changes in this release: •Update to obok script and plugin to make them work with Kobo Desktop 4.0 •Another fix for new Topaz format tags •Better checks for XML files in ePub decryption •Updates to the documentation to point people to my repository •An attempt to make the Mac Application work more reliably on new installs |

Thought it might be worth repeating/reposting jhowell's warning about the newest version of K4PC (1.19) from another thread...

(I seem to recall discussing this before. If you have some reason why that way isn't a good workflow for you, I've forgotten it.) |

Yes, if you choose the "transfer via computer" as the "deliver to" you'll get a box to choose which device you intend to transfer it to (if you have more than one device registered, at least) and then the file downloads in your browser, encrypted to work on the device you chose and be used as you see fit. |

Sigh. I've let most of my Amazon books sit in the cloud without processing, figuring I could do it on demand. Now I guess I'll have to do at least one sweep to get the likeliest onto my computer. Quel pain in the tuches. It wouldn't be the end of the world if I had to read on the Amazon app, but I'd mostly rather not.
Heads up much appreciated. |

And still people doubt me when I say Amazon will be moving everything over to KFX as soon as they can, and allow older formats for direct download on older readers only. I will not even be surprised if one of the future e-readers has no storage for e-books, and can only read books by downloading the 100 next pages of the currently opened book. Streaming books. Yay. Not. I can hear people calling already. "Do you have proof for that?" Yes. Look at the music and movie world. Look at what's happening in the game world. See the subscription services that only function using their own app. If Amazon and/or Kobo can pull this off, they will do it. At some point, ADE 2.01 will be kicked and a move to 3.x or 4.x will be required. I'm so glad I got all the ebooks I've ever wanted / could imagine as soon as I could. Even if I don't buy anything new ever again, my reading material will outlast me my lifetime... thrice. Last edited by Katsunami; 01-05-2017 at 03:48 PM. |

It was bound to happen. I just downloaded the last few freebies today while I still can. So far, no forced upgrade.
Also looking on ebay for a super inexpensive Kindle. Nothing at the moment. |

You can at least disable automatic upgrade in K4PC. How long version 1.17.x will be supported for downloading books is anyone's guess.
If you want to archive 1.17 so you can re-install it as long as it's supported, you can download it at this location. (Direct link to file on Amazon's servers.) Be quick, as it's unknown how long it will be up. |
