I don't have anything against obok, really. It's just not as convenient to keep up with as the other tools. For a long while, it only existed as various pastebin links scattered throughout the already hard to navigate comments section at Alf's place. Probably not the developer(s) fault, but it is what it is.

I have about four places I visit regularly on the internet. If none of those has a "New Version of Obok is Out" announcement on it, I'm probably not going to hear about it. *shrug*

And quite frankly, I only tried obok because I was desperate to get my hands on the DRM-free book. Once it didn't work for me, it never occurred to me that an update to a drm-removal tool would address a problem retrieving drm-free books. I just figured the obok angle was a dead end in my quest.
As MR has reconsidered the information that can be posted re programs like obok, it means that for future updates a thread can be started (probably in the General section) advising of the link whereabouts, eg The Digital Reader.

That will help out everyone.
