If both are available, ebooks will be read from the attached E-Ink Kobo reader. To import from the desktop application, unplug the Kobo reader. + + +Installation +------------ +Open calibre's Preferences dialog. Click on the "Plugins" button. Next, click on the button, "Load plugin from file". Navigate to the unzipped DeDRM_tools folder, find the file "obok_plugin.zip". Click to select the file and select "Open". Click "Yes" in the "Are you sure?" dialog box. Click the "OK" button in the "Success" dialog box. + + +Customization +------------- +No customization is required, except choosing which menus will show the plugin. Although the ability to enter a device serial number is given, this should not need to be filled in, as the serial number should be picked up automatically from the attached Kobo reader. + + +Using the plugin +---------------- + +Select the plugin's menu or icon from whichever part of the calibre interface you have chosen to have it. Follow the instructions in the dialog that appears. + + +Troubleshooting +--------------- +If you find that the DeDRM plugin is not working for you (imported ebooks still have DRM - that is, they won't convert or open in the calibre ebook viewer), you should make a log of the import process by deleting the DRMed ebook from calibre and then adding the ebook to calibre when it's running in debug mode. This will generate a lot of helpful debugging info that can be copied into any online help requests. Here's how to do it: + + - Remove the DRMed book from calibre. + - Click the Preferences drop-down menu and choose 'Restart in debug mode'. + - Once calibre has re-started, import the problem ebook. + - Now close calibre. + +A log will appear that you can copy and paste into a comment at Apprentice Alf's blog, http://apprenticealf.wordpress.com/ or an issue at Apprentice Harper's repository, https://github.com/apprenticeharper/DeDRM_tools/issues . You should also give details of your computer, and how you obtained the ebook file. + |
