A tool to download your purchased Kobo books and remove the DRM from them.

kobo-book-downloader's Issues

Book list contains items that cannot be downloaded

The python kobo-book-downloader list --all currently shows five books, but I can download only one of them (because I bought it). Two other books are on the list because I bought them in the past but then I successfully requested a refund. Other two books are on the list because they are on my wishlist. But please notice I have a lot of other books on my wishlist that don't appear in the kobo-book-downloader list.

Is it possible to avoid displaying books that I cannot download?

ERROR: Can't find the workflow ID in the login form. The page format might have changed.

Running latest git version on Ubuntu 22.04, when trying to add user, after pasting the captcha code I get the error:
ERROR: Can't find the workflow ID in the login form. The page format might have changed.

Is it possible they changed the page format again within a week?

All commands result in this error. I have all dependencies installed properly (I use other scripts that depend on them--they are installed in the default location)

KeyError: 'BookMetadata'

Love kobo-book-downloader and the way it simplifies downloading and removing DRM from Kobo books. Had a problem using it just now for the first time in a month or two. Get the following errors when using any of the commands: For example,
jenny@jenny-PC:~/kobo-book-downloader-master$ python kobo-book-downloader pick /home/jenny/ --all
gives the following:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/lib/python3.6/runpy.py", line 193, in _run_module_as_main

File "/usr/lib/python3.6/runpy.py", line 85, in _run_code

rows = Commands.__GetBookList( listAll )
File "kobo-book-downloader/Commands.py", line 199, in __GetBookList
bookMetadata = newEntitlement[ "BookMetadata" ]
KeyError: 'BookMetadata'

Have tried downloading the code again and also deleting and regenerating the .config/kobo-book-downloader.json file and it gives the same errors.
Any suggestions?

Export Kobo wishlist

Is it possible to export Kobo wishlist with kobo-book-downloader and save it for offline use? I'm adding hundreds of books to my Kobo wishlist, but if Kobo goes bankrupt I will lose all of them.

License

As far as I can see kobo-book-downloader has no license. In my opinion it would be better to choose a proper free software license. You may try https://choosealicense.com/ for help in picking one.

I get the following error message when running the python kobo-book-downloader list --all command:

This is after having inserted username/password/captcha.

I'm using the latest git version of kobo-book-downloader on a Gentoo Linux system.

It seems kobo-book-downloader doesn't work anymore:

This tool will no longer work. Use subdavis/kobo-book-downloader instead

Several changes at kobo have made this tool unusable. My updated version is actively maintained and has several new features.

Strip escape sequences when redirecting output to a file

I'd like to save my Kobo wishlist locally in a text file, for backup purposes.

I tried with:

python kobo-book-downloader wishlist > kobo-wishlist.txt

But if I open kobo-wishlist.txt with a text editor (emacs) I get the following output:

^[[1m1984^[[0m by George Orwell (ISBN: 9780547249643)
^[[1m2001: A Space Odyssey^[[0m by Arthur C. Clarke (ISBN: 9780748120789)
...

I could easily remove those escape sequences manually with a simple find & replace, but I wonder if kobo-book-downloader can detect if its output is being redirected to a file and, in that case, strip any escape sequence automatically.

What do you think?

ERROR: Capcha mecanism - 403 Client Error: Forbidden for url

Hi, I try to connect to the kobo-book-downloader to Kobo API using the new Capcha mecanism. It seems to found everything it need to connect, but when actually opening the API, it receive a 403 Client Error. I have attached the log file (without my credential of course) with the "--verbose" option

Thanks,
kobo_error.log

captcha response is now 3143 characters long and cannot be pasted entirely

Hi, I tried this today but the captain response is much longer than on your small video, it doesn't seem to work anymore as when pasting it in command line, it doesn't paste more than the 1024 first chatacters

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?

Donations

I'm a GNU/Linux user and I prefer to avoid running proprietary applications. Before discovering kobo-book-downloader I was forced to download e-books with Adobe Digital Editions, which is proprietary software. I had to use either Wine or a Windows 10 QEMU guest. Thanks to your program I can now download Kobo books quickly and easily.

Do you accept donations? Do you accept cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin? I would be glad to be the first to donate...

No Issue Just Wanna Call The Owner

After solving the Captcha during login and copy-pasting the resulting response, the script seems to hit an updated page

Cannot log into Kobo Account

Hello,

I am getting an error message "ERROR: The request has timed out." when trying to log in after pasting in the captcha code. Can this possibly be fixed?

Thanks,
Chris
