Where does Kobo store its books?
It's been a while since I bought anything from Kobo. Now, in the old days there was a download button next to your book on the website (in your Library) and you'd download the epub to some folder in Documents. Pick it up, put it in Calibre and presto!
No more? All I see as options is either straight on the device or through the desktop app. The latter stores some weird file without extension in User/appdata/local/Kobo/blablabla. How do I get my hands on an epub which I can manhandle in any way I choose? Without having to sync my device? |

In the Library on the Kobo site click on the three dots to the right of the book (in the column named actions) you want to download and choose export file. That lets you download the epub if it is DRM free, or the acsm file for Adobe Digital Edtions if it has DRM.

Should've looked beyond my nose (as the Dutch expression goes). Thanks!
