My latest book - the 12omb looked to have been drm-stripped ok, but when I try to view it in calibre it says it is still DRM'd.
Has Kobo got a new DRM format that my old stripper can't use? Or is the size of the file too biig for it to be completely stripped?
Any suggestions for getting rid of DRM for large books?
Why would you actually pay for epubsoft when you can get Calibre and the DeDRM plugin for free?

Does anyone know if epubsoft has stolen code from DeDRM like that other pay for DRM removal program (which I won't name)?
