I purchased an e-book from Kobo and downloaded it fine to my desktop. However, when I go to import it into Calibre, I can not find ANY iteration of the book and title anywhere on the PC. I'm guessing that Kobo uses some proprietary compression algorithm, as Adobe, Epubs and other books (with and without DRM) I've been able to locate and successfully import. I've done a pretty thorough search on trying to resolve this issue without success. If someone can point me in the right direction, I would be very grateful. Again, both Calibre and Kobo on the same desktop. I simply would like to get the book into Calibre and can't figure out how to do that. (If anyone knows this is simply not possible with today's digital protection, then please let me know).

thank you very much,
Doug
