Avoid opening your Kobo Desktop app if you can help it, because this latest version is not obok compatible. (This thread will be updated when it becomes compatible)
(Why you need to avoid opening the Desktop app is because it may auto update) Edit Solution posted, see my post No.10 below. Last edited by Lynx-lynx; 12-25-2015 at 04:31 PM. Reason: add the edit |

But remember, probably the only reason would be to download new books from Kobo, to then process via Obok; so if you don't open it, then there would be no new content to process via Obok, so need for Obok to work.

I've updated the first post of the Direct Links to Kobo Firmware thread to reflect this.

Two things: 1) Should this not be in the Calibre forum instead of a general Kobo one? 2) Your first sentence should have started with "If you use oboK, you should avoid..." |

Just a little info I had witnessed in the past. During my transition to Windows 10, I installed kobo desktop and did not have oboK recognize any books from Kobo. I did two things, one logout my kobo account and the other uninstall/re-install kobo desktop. Not sure which one helped, but after that, oboK worked again. This should be checked to confirm it there is trouble or not.
If this is true, it seems there is a catch-22 situation. I just tried to run kobo desktop to see if it can be used without the update, but it doesn't allow you to access anything if it sees there is an update. I also tried using the desktop with "airplane mode" and it would not run at all. It seems if there are any kepub only books purchased in future will not be able to be liberated. |
