There are a bunch of problems with Kobo. One is that any ePub that is sent to them as ePub 3 get converted to kepub regardless of DRM. I've seen more publishers other than Tor selling new eBooks as ePub 3. Thus, there are now more and more new eBooks at Kobo that can only be downloaded as kepub. regardless of DRM. Now you have to install Kobo Desktop. You then download your Kobo eBooks via Kobo Desktop. You go to try to find that one Tor eBook that has no DRM. First you have to find where the Kobo downloads are stored. You finally find out and which one is it? You have no idea because the filenames are garbage and thus meaningless. So you have to find Obok and install it in Calibre You do that and find out you cannot see which are DRM free and which are not. So you go find the latest Obok and install that. You then can see the DRM free kepub as well. So you use Obok to get it into Calibre. But it's kepub. Now you have to run it through Mobify ePub to get this eBook back to an ePub.
That's just silly to have to do all hat just get that DRM free Tor eBook that should have been downloadable as an ePub with just your browser. There should not ever be a need for Obok and Kobo Desktop. Kobo should not be converting epub 3 to kepub only.
