Calibre is on the same Android device, installed with winlator, so the Obok plugin do not find the Kobo epubs, because the Kobo App folders used are different from the Otok plugin standard...).

I add that I can not install Kobo Desktop on winlator because it fails to start after the installation.
The best solution to remove the DRM from Kobo eBooks i to install the DeDRM Plugin and the DeACSM plugin.

Then just download the eBooks as ePub and for eBooks with DRM, you'll get an ACSM file that you import into calibre. DeACSM will then use that to download the ePub and DeDRM will remove the DRM.

You will then have your ePub in your calibre library to then be able to read how you want.
