Kobo Library Not Found/Kobo Books Not DeDRM'ng

[BucketListMod]

Question / bug report

I manually set the Kobo library and no dice (and there IS a book in there, as shown by the manual log) All I can think is the "Kobo Devices Serials" but I don't know what that means or how to find it (I am DEEPLY code-illiterate)

Which version of Calibre are you running?

6.7.1

Which version of the DeDRM plugin are you running?

v10.0.3

If applicable, which version of the Kindle software are you running?

No response

Doesn't look like you added a book with the Obok plugin at all in either log.

Well, yeah, because it... Couldn't find anything, so it didn't let me. The first one I tried to just "Add books from a single folder" and it didn't DeDRM, the second one was me trying Obok specifically and I got this:

calibre, version 6.7.1 ERROR: Obok DeDRM v10.0.3:

Could not find Kobo Library

Windows/Mac: do you have Kobo Desktop installed?

Windows/Mac/Linux: In case you have an Kobo eInk device, connect the device.

[ElleKayEm]

Adding a book to calibre in the usual way and using the DeDRM plugin only works for the Adobe DRM epubs, not the Kobo Desktop and Kobo ereader kepubs. You have to add those with the Obok plugin. No idea why it isn't finding your Kobo library -- looks like it is right where Obok should expect it to be. You can read the book in the Kobo Desktop app? Is it a borrowed book?

[BucketListMod]

I purchased the book the day I tried to import it, and it reads fine in Kobo Desktop. It's... DEEPLY confusing.

[ElleKayEm]

As a workaround, you could download the Adobe DRM epub via Adobe Digital Editions and use DeDRM. Be sure to authorize ADE with an Adobe ID before opening the ACSM file downloaded from Kobo's website.

Finally got around to doing this; thank you for the help!
