Not Implemented: The following books are virtual and cannot be added to the calibre library:

E:\.kobo\kepub\05288efe-a18e-441d-9e62-fbdc2309c8c1

What am I doing wrong? Other kepubs, in the same folder, work fine in the calibre library.
The "Add books to library" function does not work for purchase kepubs. That would cover any book that is in the ".kobo\kepub" directory. There are several reasons for this, which includes the possibility of the book having DRM.

You should be able to use Obok to get the book either from the directory that the Kobo desktop application uses, or from the device.
