Rip Books From Kobo
Hello,
First I want to apologize if I didn't do as good of a due diligence to search for an answer before posting this question but I did search and could not locate a viable answer. I have an old kobo wifi that has some books which I would like to transfer/rip from the kobo to pc. Is this possible? Do I need to connect to the sqlite DB and get them from the DB? |

If they are books you synced from Kobo directly, you probably need to use Calibre with the DeDRM Obok plugin to decrypt them before you can read them on another device.

I suspect he is asking about the 100 books that came with the ereader that were stored in the database not as separate files.

Since those books were all PD books, I suspect the moderators are not going to care how detailed the instructions get.
At one point, there was a .zip file with the 100 books in it mostly downloaded from Gutenberg. |
