Discover Sir Terry Pratchett's Discworld, the beloved comic fantasy universe that’s brimming with wit, wisdom, and wonder. Start where it all began in the seminal novel The Color of Magic, which follows the misadventures of the inept wizard Rincewind as he serves as tour guide to Twoflower, Discworld's first-ever sightseer. The hapless duo’s journeys continue in The Light Fantastic and Sourcery, where the scale of world-threatening hazards (and accompanying absurdities) increase exponentially. You’ll get over 35 Discworld novels in all, touching all corners of this whimsical realm and all manner of its denizens, and you’ll help Room to Read with your purchase!

Does anyone know what format these come in? I'm not familiar with how kobo does it.

Kobo has their own flavor of epub called kepub. Readable as is (minus DRM) via any epub reader. The biggest difference is that it includes indexes that their ereaders use to track what page you are on, but are otherwise invisible unless you’re looking at the raw xhtml.

The Kobo Desktop app in combination with Calibre and the obok plugin (part of the NoDRM/DeDRM plugin) can easily strip the Kobo DRM and it outputs EPUBs.

This is what I use and is one of the easiest to remove from the books I buy. I’m happy to answer any other questions (I already bought this, I posted the original).

Looks like EPUB 3 with adobe's DRM

[–] Inventa@lemm.ee 4 points 10 months ago

This is it. It exports with Adobe drm

It's through kobo, but I don't know if you'll be able to download your books or they will just be available to you on kobo.com

If nobody replies, I may test it and report back

Says in the text, does that not answer your question?

Good question, unfortunately I don't know
