An example of one library loan that I borrowed and just finished ,is Fatherland (anniversary edition) by Robert Harris. It was unreadable for me on my kobo forma because lines were squashed too close together for my eyes to cope.
Yes, this is exactly the case with all of the books borrowed from Biblos. I contacted Biblos several times about this and explained this makes their books useless for basically anyone wearing eyeglasses, but they always put the blame on Kobo and that was that from their side.

I have to download a book from Biblos website and it saves as an .acsm file. This I have to open in ADE and send it from ADE to Kobo as an .epub file. I tried removing DRM with Calibre plugins and some other app from this .epub file, but it was impossible. I forgot which app it was, I uninstalled it.

I have no intention of stealing library books or putting them online, since borrowing them is for free (we only have to pay a small annual library membership fee) and nobody reads in Slovene but the Slovenes anyway, I just want to adjust the font so that I could actually read the books...

I love my Kobo Aura One, but this inability to read library books in my mother tongue is a major problem for me
