First make sure that the script is executable.
Open a terminal/console in the same directory as the script.
Connect your device to your computer and make sure it is mounted.
Type ./obok --dev /media/ (then the rest of the path to the device - for a reader it would be /media/{yourusername}/KOBOeReader/).

If it works you will be presented with a list of book titles, type in the number corresponding to the book you wish to back-up. If it does not work you could try fiddling with the path, or if you have sufficient python knowledge you could try modifying the script.
That sounds like a lot of work, but I will give it a shot.
