That isn't correct. Obok gets the list of available books from the database that the Kobo desktop application uses. Then it copies the file from the directory and adds it to the calibre library.

I've done this repeatedly in the past and never received this error on import. I did run the Obok plugin on this file and it gives me the error listed below. The only thing that has changed in the last month is within the last two weeks, I started Calibre and all my plugins were missing and my libraries were no longer available on the main menu. Nothing was lost, I just had to put the plugins back into main menu and reinstall the libraries. So, I'm starting to think it is related to what happened to that. If it is something I crunched in Calibre, what is the best way to fix that?

I just tested Obok here for the first time in months. It added both books both with and without DRM with no problems.

The error, which has nothing to do with DRM, is that the file for the book is missing. The Obok plugin works from the database in the kepub book directory. That is used to connect the files with the details. I think if you tried to read that book in the Kobo desktop application, you would get an error. Or it might redownload the file.
