I'd be sure ADE authorization won't cure it.
I've also seen this message on my Sage. And it has happened on epubs I made myself that have no DRM of any sort. So yeah, I doubt authorizing ADE on the device would do anything whatsoever.

A reboot fixes it for me as well, but it's definitely annoying when it happens.

Since it only affects EPUB, I guess it's a bug in the ADE viewer. If the problem were more frequent, you could avoid it by converting everything to KEPUB, but it sounds rare enough to not really matter.

I have never sideloaded a kepub, so don´t actually know if it can happen then.

Agreed, far too rare to want to switch to kepub.

Just had this happen on _one_ sideloaded epub, but five or so others I tried were normal. epub was free download from publisher web site so adobe definitely nothing to do with it.

I think the other times I've had this problem it's affected all epubs. I had just upgraded to 4.35 which I see has since been withdrawn.

as usual, reboot fixed problem.

Until recently I've never had it happen before. I have a book I bought from Amazon and concerted from AZW to Epub using calibre. It theoretically hasn't got DRM, but I still get the message. I have another which i converted from Epub to RTF and back, and still get the message.
I've been using Kobo and Calibre for many, many years, and don't generally buy my books from Kobo.
When I reset the reader, the allegedly DRM protected books just disappeared entirely

Database is a little corrupt. Try reboot and repair account.
Calibre lets you check and backup database.

Calibre does not let you check and backup the database. Those functions are part of the Kobo Utilities plugin.

For those of you with this false DRM message, what firmware version are you running?

I'm Version 4.34.200097

The file converted to kepub works as expected, but curiously, the .epub also fails to open on my PocketBook with the built in Reader (koreader does open it). This file is rather big though, so that might be related (and I can make the file available as it's Open Source documentation that anyone can download from RH, I just merged it into one file)

Which is a plugin only on Calibre. Why would you have a Kobo on Calibre without Kobo Utilities?

From my notes, I've seen in since around firmware 3.1.1 on my Aura HD.

The time I just had it affect a single file only was 4.35, but I've had it with my Sage with some previous version as well, and a few times with my Aura One between 2017 and 2022 probably with different versions. It's happened.. maybe once a year so I would imagine I've seen it across a range of versions but I didn't take a note of which version it was. A reboot has always fixed it.
