I apologize to you both. I didn't get a notification on your posts. DNSB, yes, the author is Jayne Krentz and the book is The Golden Chance. I have been using the Calibre Obok DeDRM because many of the books from Kobo are Kobo Plus books that I am able to get for free because I subscribe to something called Kobo Plus Read. I can get many books that way, but they are not "downloadable", meaning there is no download link on them. I use the Kobo for PC and sync the book. There is a file that downloads to a folder on my pc that I have been able to decrypt and convert to an epub using Calibre with the Obok DeDRM plugin. As I said, recently that has stopped working, and I get the error message that I uploaded earlier.

I am still able to download the free books to Adobe Digital editions, but I have never been able to do that with the ones that you have to pay for and I get with my subscription. I will look into upgrading my Calibre again. I did it recently, but maybe there's a newer version and I'll look into that. If there is a different plug-in I should be using, I'd sure appreciate hearing what that would be.

I really appreciate the time you both put into your replies. Thanks so much.
