Welp, I tried all that but it can't remove the DRM. Guess this is the last time I buy ebooks.

That sucks, sorry.

I wanted to purchase that same bundle, but I didn't want the hassle of getting DRM books into my device ecosystem, so I skipped it, since I noticed it was through Kobo.

For what it's worth, I've had great luck with purchasing other (explicitly DRM Free) Humble Bundles (i.e. Tor books).

But I can understand wanting one reliable place to shop. It's a shame that the one reliable place to shop for widely compatible eBooks seems to be the high seas, at the moment. Yo ho!

Did it convert it to .epub? If so you can remove epub DRM with Calibre and the DRM recover plugin

It popped up in calibre and knew the title but wouldn't open. I didn't see a dedrm button or option.

You have to install the plugin. You can get it from https://github.com/ramanveerji/DeDRM_tools . It removes DRM automatically when adding a book to the library.

I have that. It imported the 2 certs it found. Still doesn't work.
