Jut use the version you get when you download it from within calibre. That's the version I am using and it works very well.

So that I'm clear, if I'm downloading epubs from the Kobo website and importing them into Calibre, do I only need the DeDRM and DeACSM plugins?

Do I also need the Obok plugin? Or is Obok plugin only used for importing books from the Kobo Desktop App and devices?

I currently have the Obok plugin installed. I'm just wondering if I need to worry about keeping it up-to-date moving forward, since I plan to stick with website downloads and no longer get books from the KDA.
You do not need Obok. You just need DeACSM and DeDRM. Obok does nothing with ePub.

Forget Obok exists. You don't need it. Y0u are best with ePub. It's more versatile. For example, if y0u move to another Reader and want to read ePub, you'll be all set with ePub.

I understand and plan to take your advice. Like I said earlier in this thread, I was stuck on the Obok tool simply because it wasn't working. My OCD couldn't let go of that. I had to understand it and fix before I was willing to let it go. Which I know is crazy. Like I said, OCD.

I didn't realize you could download the DeACSM plugin from within Calibre.

If I understand correctly, you're talking about going to: Preferences > Plugins > Get new plugins, right?

I've never seen the DeDRM and Obok plugins as an option there, so I assumed DeACSM wouldn't be either. Now that I look, I see it is there. I'll use that moving forward.

You can download most plugins from within calibre. You cannot download DeDRM from within calibre.

  1. You would only need the ACSM and DeDRM plugins ( DeACSM was the original name which is now deprectated. We may stop using it in a decade or so )
  2. OBOK is only needed if importing books from the KDA and devices
  3. I keep OBOK updated to since it comes in the same package as the DeDRM plugin. Just a few extra clicks.
  4. The DeDRM and OBOK plugin are not available from calibre's plugin repository for obvious reasons.
