Kobo decided to go the proprietary Digital Restriction Management (DRM) way by providing some ebooks bought on their platform in their in-house Kepub format. This means that they can only be read on a Kobo device.
You might have noticed that, when trying to copy an ebook from your Kobo device to your desktop Calibre library, it tells you it can’t do that because the book is “virtual”.

- Open Calibre (if you don’t have this amazing ebook management app already, install it);
- Install the plugin: `Preferences > Plugins > Load plugin from file`;
