You're trying to use Obok with Kobo Desktop or a Kobo ereader? Are they purchased books or Kobo Plus? Which Kobo website no longer has downloads? (I ask because the US site still does.)

With Kobo desktop. They are purchased books not from kobo plus. I don't see download option on TW JP US versions of the website, or do you have one that can currently download acsm?

I can still download the ACSM files (or EPUB if DRM-free) when I'm logged into Kobo's US site. And I am still able to use Obok with Kobo Desktop. For a while now, I've heard of Kobo Plus books not working with Obok and not having an option for downloading ACSM files (Adobe DRM). I wonder if Kobo is changing so purchased books are the same.

Did you used both of these methods recently?

Yes, just checked and both are still working for me as of today.

Kobo's help docs specifically lists Japan as the only country unable to download through ADE (for now).

Ah, thanks for the info. My books are indeed Japanese, perhaps that's why I can't download them.
