This is a hard fork of [kobo-book-downloader](https://github.com/TnS-hun/kobo-book-downloader), a command line tool to download and remove Digital Rights Management (DRM) protection from media legally purchased from [Rakuten Kobo](https://www.kobo.com/). The resulting [EPUB](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EPUB) files can be read with, amongst others, [KOReader](https://github.com/koreader/koreader).

You must have a kobo email login for this tool to work (you can't use an external provider like Google or Facebook). However, you can create a NEW kobo account and link it with your existing account on the user profile page. Go to `My Account -> Account Settings` to link your new kobo login.

> I can't log in. I get a message saying "The page format might have changed"

This happens from time to time, maybe once or twice a year. Kobo changes their login page and makes it hard for the tool to parse out the necessary information. Please open an issue.

> I can't log in, there's a problem with reading the captcha

The clipboard interaction doesn't work for everyone. Try supplying the captcha using `koobdl user add --captch "YOUR_CAPTCHA_CODE"`.

> Some of my books are missing!

Try `kobodl book list --read` to show all "finished" and "archived" books. You can manage your book status on [the library page](https://kobo.com/library). Try changing the status using the "..." button.

Try to download the book individually using `kobodl book get <revision-id>`, replacing `revision-id` with the UUID from the list table.

> Something else is going wrong!

Try enabling debugging. Run `kobodl --debug book get` (for example), which will dump a lot of data into a file called `debug.log`. Email me this file. Do not post it in public on an issue because it will contain information about your account. My email address can be found on my [github profile page](https://github.com/subdavis).
