EPUB format instead of KEPUB

As far as I know kobo-book-downloader currently downloads Kobo e-books in the proprietary KEPUB format only. Is it possible to let the user download e-books in the standard EPUB format instead? Is Adobe Digital Editions the only way to accomplish that?

Yes that's possible, the epub variant is protected by Social DRM as Kobo calls it. The file is watermarked with a identifier to the downloader.

Great, but how can I get them?

This repository has been abandoned. I have forked the project at https://github.com/subdavis/kobo-book-downloader - please give that project a try and open an issue there if you have trouble.

It adds some new features:

• audiobook support
• multi-user support; fetch books for multiple accounts.
• web interface; adds new browser gui (with flask)
• docker image
• pypi package

Please don't reply to this issue, open an issue on my fork instead
