kobo-book-downloader VS DeDRM_tools

I use https://github.com/subdavis/kobo-book-downloader, and they work properly when you use that.

For ebook/audiobook fans, I'll plug https://github.com/subdavis/kobo-book-downloader

There was a book I couldn't find anywhere so I activated a Kobo books trial account and ripped the audiobook using this tool.

I maintain a tool for removing DRM from kobo books, which does preserve the metadata on the epub. https://github.com/subdavis/kobo-book-downloader

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.
