Also, I'm not really into patching/hacking my devices. I prefer being able to use my ereaders out-of-the-box without having to tinker with firmware to get what I want. (Also, I only skimmed the beginning of the developer threads, but am I reading correctly that the Kobo Patcher is Windows-only, or is a Mac version now available as well? If Windows-only, then this is even more of a deal-breaker  |
If you're sideloading from calibre there's no need to use kepubs at all if you don't want to. If you're buying from Kobo some books may be kepub only, but many (most???) give you the choice. Even if you did end up with a kepub you could still de-DRM it with Alf's tools and use calibre to turn it into a plain epub. No tech knowledge required.
The Kobo Patcher runs on Windows/Mac/Linux these days.
See here for details of the latest version. Detailed help always available in the relevant thread.
... not that I'm trying to tempt you, of course. Perish the thought
