DeDRM_tools VS WordDumb

In theory, you should be able to do it with both Rakuten Kobo and Amazon JP. However, you might need to use a VPN to tell them that you're in Japan because of region restriction idiocy. You may also need to claim a Japanese billing address (though it may not need to be your actual billing address; some sites do require that you provide a Japanese billing address but don't actually require that it match your credit card). Out of the two, Kobo's DRM is easier to remove. I have heard that Amazon JP has not yet been affected by the recent changes that Amazon made to make it harder to remove their DRM, but it's likely only a matter of time before we won't be able to remove their DRM anymore, because it takes too much time and effort for the folks who work on such things to continue to putting in the effort.

I believe this plugin for calibre is what is used.

What part are you failing on? The earliest one, assuming you have Calibre installed already, is that you should be downloading from the releases page and not trying to download the entire code repository.

First option is to use Count pages plugin, and second option is to use kfx output, which you can enable option to create approximate page numbers. Also worth mentioning that the kfx outputs also supports x-ray and word wise, if you use WordDumb plugin.

Since that itself is pretty opaque to non-techies, the Wordumb home forum is here, and it looks like the github page you need page is here.
