Follow the instructions and it gets the job done but be aware that the epub book shows up as a file in your downloads and needs to be dragged from there to the Epubor screen. For 2023 Kindle books, I downloaded latest Kindle for PC version 5. From there copy the epub books to the Kobo reader drive, also appearing in your File Explorer window. You need to click on the folder icon at bottom right of Epubor screen (this is critical) and the new epub files will appear in a window showing in your File Explorer. However the final instructions "just connect your Kobo to your computer with USB, copy the newly converted DRM free epub books to it." Yikes, confusion time. For pre 2023 books, when you have deregistered Kindle (as per instructions) I downloaded Kindle for PC version 0. Firstly, get the full version, well worth it. So, 5 stars for the success in transferring from Kindle to Kobo and four stars for the assumptions and frustrations. I nearly gave up after a couple of failures with Kindle for PC version just not working despite the link given by Epubor. It worked, eventually, but let down by the concise instructions coming to a halt and assumptions kicking in.
