Importing from a Kobo ereader or Kobo Desktop?

Kobo ereader

[ElleKayEm]

I don't know. I'd try installing Kobo Desktop.

Further thoughts: is that the normal location the books download to?

Did you have the ereader attached before or after you opened calibre? I'd try the opposite of whatever you did before.

I've never had an issue myself with Obok not finding books, but I've seen it come up here occassionally. I usually download the Adobe DRM epubs and use DeDRM.

Yes, it's the normal location. The thing is that, when there's an SD card connected, a new drive opens when the ereader is plugged in. With a different path. Obok probably is trying to find all books on the original path. Even if I remove the SD card, obok tries to find them.

I'm using it without the SD card to copy the books to calibre. Even had to factory reset the ereader because the ones on the card so being listed.

I tried with Kobo desktop but okob detected the books I downloaded as DRM free. But after being copied they are unreadable.

[ElleKayEm]

I've seen people say that if they close the Kobo app, then Obok will see that the books have DRM.

@noDRM might want to take a look at what is going on with the SD card. Since a lot of the models don't have SD cards, I don't know if the problem has been reported before.
