The resulting [EPUB](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EPUB) files can be read with, amongst others, [KOReader](https://github.com/koreader/koreader). > **NOTE:** 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. ## Features kobodl preserves the features from [TnS-hun/kobo-book-downloader](https://github.com/TnS-hun/kobo-book-downloader). * stand-alone; no need to run other software or pre-download through an e-reader. * downloads `.epub` formatted books It adds several new features. * **audiobook support**; command-line only for now. * Use `kobodl book get`. There will not be a download button in the webpage for audiobooks because they consist of many large files. * **multi-user support**; fetch books for multiple accounts. * **web interface**; adds new browser gui (with flask) * **CalibreWeb Integration**; send books directly to CalibreWeb from the web interface. * [docker image](https://github.com/subdavis/kobodl/pkgs/container/kobodl) * [pypi package](https://pypi.org/project/kobodl/) * [pyinstaller bundles](https://github.com/subdavis/kobo-book-downloader/releases/latest) ## Web UI WebUI provides most of the same functions of the CLI. It was added to allow other members of a household to add their accounts to kobodl and access their books without having to set up python. ### User page ![Example of User page](docs/webss.png) ### Book list page ![Example of book list page](docs/books3.png) ## Installation ### pipx ``` bash pipx install kobodl ``` ### pip ``` bash pip install kobodl ``` ### Pre-built bundles No python installation necessary. Simply download the appropriate executable from [the latest release assets](https://github.com/subdavis/kobo-book-downloader/releases/latest) and run it from the command line. Pre-built bundles are CLI-only (no web server) so use a different install option if you want that feature. ``` bash # Linux wget https://github.com/subdavis/kobo-book-downloader/releases/latest/download/kobodl-ubuntu chmod +x kobodl-ubuntu ./kobodl-ubuntu ``` ``` bash # MacOS (Catalina 10.15 or newer required.

This GIF helps to explain how to do that. ![Gif explaining how to get reCAPTHCA](docs/captcha.gif) ## CalibreWeb Integration: **Experimental** Kobodl's web interface can send books directly to your calibre web server. Only supported from web client. You must add your CalibreWeb server and user details directly in kobodl.json. Make sure to include `/upload` in the url. If you don't have CalibreWeb authentication on, leave these fields blank (`""`). ``` json { "users": [ /* ... */ ], "calibre_web": { "enabled": true, "url": "https://calibre.domain.com/upload", "username": "CHANGEME", "password": "CHANGEME" } } ``` > **NOTE**: you may need to add escape characters if your password contains a `\`, `"`, or others that require JSON escaping. ## Troubleshooting > 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. > I see a mesage about "skipping _____" when I download all. Try to download the book individually using `kobodl book get `, replacing `revision-id` with the UUID from the list table. > 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. > 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). ## Development This project uses [Python Poetry](https://python-poetry.org/). ```bash pip install poetry git clone https://github.com/subdavis/kobo-book-downloader poetry install # Run command line app poetry run kobodl # Run linting poetry run tox -e lint # Run standalone bundle generation poetry run tox -e buildcli # Run type checks poetry run tox -e type ``` ## Notes kobo-book-downloader will prompt for your [Kobo](https://www.kobo.com/) e-mail address and password. Once it has successfully logged in, it won't ask for them again. Your password will not be stored on disk; Kobodl uses access tokens after the initial login. Credit recursively to [kobo-book-downloader](https://github.com/TnS-hun/kobo-book-downloader) and the projects that lead to it. ## FAQ **How does this work?** kobodl works by pretending to be an Android Kobo e-reader. It initializes a device, fetches your library, and downloads books as a "fake" Android app. **Why does this download KEPUB formatted books?** Kobo has different formats that it serves to different platforms. For example, Desktop users generally get `EPUB3` books with `AdobeDrm` DRM. Android users typically get `KEPUB` books with `KDRM` DRM, which is fairly easy to remove, so that's what you get when you use this tool. **Is this tool safe and okay to use?** I'm not a lawyer, and the discussion below is strictly academic. The author(s) of `kobodl` don't collect any information about you or your account aside from what is made available through metrics from GitHub, PyPi, Docker Hub, etc. See `LICENSE.md` for further info. Kobo would probably claim that this tool violates its [Terms of Use](https://authorize.kobo.com/terms/termsofuse) but I'm not able to conclusively determine that it does so. Some relevant sections are reproduced here. > The download of, and access to any Digital Content is available only to Customers and is intended only for such Customers’ personal and non-commercial use. Any other use of Digital Content downloaded or accessed from the Service is strictly prohibited This tool should only be used to download books for personal use. > You may not obscure or misrepresent your geographical location, forge headers, use proxies, use IP spoofing or otherwise manipulate identifiers in order to disguise the origin of any message or transmittal you send on or through the Service. You may not pretend that you are, or that you represent, someone else, or impersonate any other individual or entity. This might be a violation. This client announces itself to Kobo servers as an Android device, which can safely be construed as "manipulating identifiers", but whether or not the purpose is to "disguise the origin" is unclear. > Kobo may also take steps to prevent fraud, such as restricting the number of titles that may be accessed at one time, and monitoring Customer accounts for any activity that may violate these Terms. If Kobo discovers any type of fraud, Kobo reserves the right to take enforcement action including the termination or suspension of a User’s account. In other words, you could have your account suspended for using `kobodl`. **Please open an issue on the issue tracker if this happens to you.** %package -n python3-kobodl Summary: Kobo Book Downloader Provides: python-kobodl BuildRequires: python3-devel BuildRequires: python3-setuptools BuildRequires: python3-pip %description -n python3-kobodl ![kobodl logo](docs/kobodl.png) ![GitHub Workflow Status](https://img.shields.io/github/workflow/status/subdavis/kobo-book-downloader/Publish%20Docker%20Container?style=for-the-badge) ![GitHub release (latest by date)](https://img.shields.io/github/v/release/subdavis/kobo-book-downloader?style=for-the-badge) ![PyPI - Downloads](https://img.shields.io/pypi/dm/kobodl?style=for-the-badge) ![PyPI - License](https://img.shields.io/pypi/l/kobodl?style=for-the-badge) ![PyPI](https://img.shields.io/pypi/v/kobodl?style=for-the-badge) # kobodl 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/).

This GIF helps to explain how to do that. ![Gif explaining how to get reCAPTHCA](docs/captcha.gif) ## CalibreWeb Integration: **Experimental** Kobodl's web interface can send books directly to your calibre web server. Only supported from web client. You must add your CalibreWeb server and user details directly in kobodl.json. Make sure to include `/upload` in the url. If you don't have CalibreWeb authentication on, leave these fields blank (`""`). ``` json { "users": [ /* ... */ ], "calibre_web": { "enabled": true, "url": "https://calibre.domain.com/upload", "username": "CHANGEME", "password": "CHANGEME" } } ``` > **NOTE**: you may need to add escape characters if your password contains a `\`, `"`, or others that require JSON escaping. ## Troubleshooting > 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. > I see a mesage about "skipping _____" when I download all. Try to download the book individually using `kobodl book get `, replacing `revision-id` with the UUID from the list table. > 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. > 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). ## Development This project uses [Python Poetry](https://python-poetry.org/). ```bash pip install poetry git clone https://github.com/subdavis/kobo-book-downloader poetry install # Run command line app poetry run kobodl # Run linting poetry run tox -e lint # Run standalone bundle generation poetry run tox -e buildcli # Run type checks poetry run tox -e type ``` ## Notes kobo-book-downloader will prompt for your [Kobo](https://www.kobo.com/) e-mail address and password. Once it has successfully logged in, it won't ask for them again. Your password will not be stored on disk; Kobodl uses access tokens after the initial login.

It initializes a device, fetches your library, and downloads books as a "fake" Android app. **Why does this download KEPUB formatted books?** Kobo has different formats that it serves to different platforms. For example, Desktop users generally get `EPUB3` books with `AdobeDrm` DRM. Android users typically get `KEPUB` books with `KDRM` DRM, which is fairly easy to remove, so that's what you get when you use this tool. **Is this tool safe and okay to use?** I'm not a lawyer, and the discussion below is strictly academic. The author(s) of `kobodl` don't collect any information about you or your account aside from what is made available through metrics from GitHub, PyPi, Docker Hub, etc. See `LICENSE.md` for further info. Kobo would probably claim that this tool violates its [Terms of Use](https://authorize.kobo.com/terms/termsofuse) but I'm not able to conclusively determine that it does so. Some relevant sections are reproduced here. > The download of, and access to any Digital Content is available only to Customers and is intended only for such Customers’ personal and non-commercial use. Any other use of Digital Content downloaded or accessed from the Service is strictly prohibited This tool should only be used to download books for personal use. > You may not obscure or misrepresent your geographical location, forge headers, use proxies, use IP spoofing or otherwise manipulate identifiers in order to disguise the origin of any message or transmittal you send on or through the Service. You may not pretend that you are, or that you represent, someone else, or impersonate any other individual or entity. This might be a violation. This client announces itself to Kobo servers as an Android device, which can safely be construed as "manipulating identifiers", but whether or not the purpose is to "disguise the origin" is unclear. > Kobo may also take steps to prevent fraud, such as restricting the number of titles that may be accessed at one time, and monitoring Customer accounts for any activity that may violate these Terms. If Kobo discovers any type of fraud, Kobo reserves the right to take enforcement action including the termination or suspension of a User’s account. In other words, you could have your account suspended for using `kobodl`. **Please open an issue on the issue tracker if this happens to you.** %prep %autosetup -n kobodl-0.9.3 %build %py3_build %install %py3_install install -d -m755 %{buildroot}/%{_pkgdocdir} if [ -d doc ]; then cp -arf doc %{buildroot}/%{_pkgdocdir}; fi if [ -d docs ]; then cp -arf docs %{buildroot}/%{_pkgdocdir}; fi if [ -d example ]; then cp -arf example %{buildroot}/%{_pkgdocdir}; fi if [ -d examples ]; then cp -arf examples %{buildroot}/%{_pkgdocdir}; fi pushd %{buildroot} if [ -d usr/lib ]; then find usr/lib -type f -printf "\"/%h/%f\"\n" >> filelist.lst fi if [ -d usr/lib64 ]; then find usr/lib64 -type f -printf "\"/%h/%f\"\n" >> filelist.lst fi if [ -d usr/bin ]; then find usr/bin -type f -printf "\"/%h/%f\"\n" >> filelist.lst fi if [ -d usr/sbin ]; then find usr/sbin -type f -printf "\"/%h/%f\"\n" >> filelist.lst fi touch doclist.lst if [ -d usr/share/man ]; then find usr/share/man -type f -printf "\"/%h/%f.gz\"\n" >> doclist.lst fi popd mv %{buildroot}/filelist.lst . mv %{buildroot}/doclist.lst . %files -n python3-kobodl -f filelist.lst %dir %{python3_sitelib}/* %files help -f doclist.lst %{_docdir}/* %changelog * Tue Jun 20 2023 Python_Bot - 0.9.3-1 - Package Spec generated
