Remove DRM from Kobo books for reading on multi devices and sharing with family members.

1. Remove DRM from Kobo books with
Epubor software
Removing DRM from Kobo books enables you to feel free to read purchased Kobo
books on multi devices or share with family members. This guide explains how to
remove DRM from Kobo books.
As Kobo books are locked by Adobe DRM, you have to firstly make sure you can
read them on ADE (Adobe Digital Editions) and then use Epubor software to
remove DRM. This is how Epubor software generates the correct decrypting key
and removes DRM smoothly.
This guide is based on Win 7 OS, which can be used on other Windows OS and
Mac as well.
