Sad it doesn't have quite all of them.
Hmm looks like it's just missing Raising Steam?
And it looks like it's through kobo.com? Do you just get the files or have to use their site/app?
Edit: looks like these books can only be downloaded as .ascm files. DRM-managed adobe files. Very lame.
Welp I just burned $18 as I'm absolutely not going to use Adobe Digital Editions or the Kobo app to read books. Humble's "Use on Any Device" is an absolute lie.
I've heard it's not too hard to recoup your value for your $18, by making the books actually readable on your devices:

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