Bonus Tips: How to Remove Kobo DRM and Back Up Kobo Books Effectively?
Why do you want to find where your Kobo books are stored? If my guess is right, you are going to back up your Kobo books, or going to read Kobo books more freely on a non-kobo device like Kindle, ReMarkable, Nook or any other popular ebook reading devices or apps. After finally finding the storage location of Kobo books, you will discover that almost all the Kobo books are DRM-protected and not in real ebook file format.
