Is Kobo Desktop running when you use Obok? I have found that when Kobo Desktop is running, many books appear unlocked (DRM free) to Obok because the Kobo Desktop database is open. @Lys was referring to this. Quit Obok, then quit Kob Desktop and rerun Obok. It will only strip DRM from an ebook if the padlock icon is closed. Otherwise, you get gibberish as you describe.
This is how it works for me on my Mac. I don't need to quit Calibre, just the plug-in.
