Alf,
I'm sorry for the criticism. You've done what nobody was willing or able to do, and you've helped many, many people. Thank you.

You seem to be unable at the moment to even download an ePub from your library and read it on your computer. That has nothing to do with DeDRM instructions, the tools download or my blog.
As for the complexity of the instructions — it's explained by the vast variety of ebook file formats, ebook drm systems, ebook reading systems, and ebook users and requirements.
While your specific requirement, to download Adobe Adept epub ebooks from your library to your Mac, and convert them for use on your Kindle, could be explained in simple terms in about five paragraphs, there are fifty other users with slightly different or totally different requirements who also need DRM removal tools.
If you have specific proposals for ways to simplify the tools, instructions or the blog, please let us know.
Did you read the "ReadMe_First.txt" file that's in the top level of the tool zip? How do you suggest we improve it without making it so long you'd have skipped it because it was too complex?
A rather exasperated,
— Alf.
