You needn’t choose “EPUB” as output format and convert the files, because these books are actually EPUB files but with “shells”.

Click “Files” –> “Explore decrypted folder”, the EPUB books are saved there.

If the books are synced by Kobo desktop reading app, you can just see them in Epubor Ultimate’s right side library if the books are saved in your Kobo eReader, please connect it to computer via USB, you can also see the books in the right side library.

That’s why you can’t find EPUB books in your Kobo eReader or Kobo desktop reading app. If you have some eBooks knowledge, you may know Kobo uses Adobe DRM, and Adobe DRM protects EPUB and PDF files.īut with the growing of Kobo Inc., they want to bond their customers to their own readers and apps, so they add another “shell” on their book, you can regard it as another DRM developed by Kobo. Looks like all the companies will be monopolistic as long as they are big enough.
