Hi. I had some still DRM'd Kobo books I'd downloaded to my old Mac with the Kobo Desktop Edition. I now use Fedora 34 on my new computer, and I have Calibre installed there. I have version 7.2.1 of the DeDRM plugin installed and also the obok plugin from the same zip file. I was able to successfully remove DRM from one of those older Kobo books from the Mac, so my most immediate needs seem to be met.
However, I've noticed that if I run obok without my e-reader connected, it fails. Initially it was seeking a file, 'kobo location'. It took a little while to figure out that "location" was part of the file name, but when I finally created that file that particular error went away and now it says "can't find kobo library." I was able to get the KoboReader.sqlite file from my device, but I can't figure out where to put it. I thought perhaps the plugin wanted "kobo location" to either contain the path to the sqlite file, but that didn't work. The last thing I tried was to make the 'kobo location' file a Linux soft link to the KoboReader.sqlite file. That made the "can't find library error disappear," but I still got a different error.
I tried to post the error right here, but the site rejected my comment as containing spam. Not sure how to get help now...
Am I on any sort of a valid path here, or is this just a wild goose chase. It would be rather nice to be able to just copy that sqlite file from my Kobo at any time and use it for the obok plugin to work on.
Anyway, any help or advice would be appreciated!

Obok worked fine for many books. Still does in the newest Obok-/Calibre-version.
But now I have a book, where in the import-dialog and in the DRM-column there is a green sign (open lock).
Looks like the ebook has no DRM.
But it can't be imported normally nor via Obok.
Obok imports it, looks like success (title and author are correct), but there is neither title page nor content.
Unfortunately at this time Calibre+Obok doesn't work, it says it can't find my books, though I have them open in Kobo reader.
Epubor does work, but in demo mode it just gives a sample. I don't mind paying for software, BUT,
in this case I only would like to convert a bunch of books I got for 20 euros (through Humbe Bundle, which lied that they can be viewed on any device, then gives me a Kobo-locked drm book set), so paying 25 dollars to remove the drm from them just doesn't seem very economical (considering that I will never willingly and knowingly spend money on DRM-ed books).
I just tried this. Managed to find the manga I wanted to export, but when I move it from kobo to calibre, all get is pages filled with question marks and random letters like this: ?I??7???W?z??9??`!;F?s??u????+??l(R9E???=*??&???A05???[?"6??x^?-G?k?W5?9J???"n
The manga is in Japanese. named ?????????(1)
Any idea what I´m doing wrong?
