Removing DRM from Kobo book

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.

This is just a wild guess, because I use Obok + calibre on the same Windows machine, and I never changed the standard behaviour, but if you go to calibre -> Preferences -> Plugin and search for Kobo, you can configure which folder it needs to check out to import books. Would that solve your issue?

Using Obok gives you KePub. Used DeDRM+DeACSM gives you ePub. Go for the ePub.

The problem is that most more recent Android versions don't give regular file access via a regular file system. I have Android apps now that can't save/read where I want. Android uses a "Storage Framework" api. Apps need special approval to behave like a regular file browser.

Thank you for the replies. I solved it using a Macbook.
I'm trying to use my android e-ink notebook for as many tasks as possible, so I was trying to remove the drm with it, but I failed.
The main problem was ADE App: it fails to download the ePub using the ACSM file (error accessing the Adobe server), and the ACSM plugin did not work under the wine emulation of Calibre under Android.
