can you remove drm from books.rakuten.co.jp?
i am learning Japanese and currently using amazon.jp for books but plan to also get books from rakuten.co.jp to diversify where i get my books.

i have been searching if books obtained from rakuten.co.jp can be de-drmed the same as those obtained from kobo.com to add to my calibre library.

from what i have read you can not download drm protected works off the website.

i do not own a kobo reader.

If you can download the books using ADE, then yes. Otherwise, probably not.

Yes, you can. You can login into the old Kobo desktop client (https://help.kobo.com/hc/en-us/artic...your-PC-or-Mac) and then use the Obok plugin. You log into the Kobo client with your Rakuten account, download the book and then use Obok in Calibre.

If you get a Kobo down the line you can also use that with Obok.
