Here's 2 samples. The Newfoundland was a freebie, Curiosity Rover I bought last year.

Curiosity was listed in device as an epub - now it has no extension and says "I'm reading" on the device.

I converted Newfoundland otherwise, and have it on the computer as an epub, but if I look at the computer file with Calibre, it doesn't show.

Spider Woman's Daughter (bought) and Newfoundland (free) both have a problem being read in another reader. I used FBReader just to check if the books were on the device or in files where I could use them and not as Kobo vaporware that I had to be logged into account to read! I could not redownload as Kobo desktop wouldn't allow. Button greyed out.

If I buy a book, I expect to convert that book to a format I can use. I have a couple of Android tablets hence FBReader, and an Android phone.

It's really upsetting to find Curiosity Rover and some other books purchased last year shoved into this "I'm Reading" which Calibre will do nothing with.

Try to use Obok - error about dysfunction in code. There is no file format, either.

I retested all the books that Kobo had marked as "I'm reading" with the other app just to make sure I had the book in a readable form by any reader. Now I'm downloading to somewhere where Kobo can't get to them. I bought them legally and I don't share.

I made the attachments as small as I could. I don't do media sites that have URLS.
