How do I use purchased EPUB books with calibre?¶

Most purchased EPUB books have DRM. This prevents calibre from opening them. You can still use calibre to store and transfer them to your e-book reader. First, you must authorize your reader on a windows machine with Adobe Digital Editions. Once this is done, EPUB books transferred with calibre will work fine on your reader. When you purchase an epub book from a website, you will get an “.acsm file. This file should be opened with Adobe Digital Editions, which will then download the actual “.epub e-book. The e-book file will be stored in the folder “My Digital Editions, from where you can add it to calibre.



Hmmmmm. If DRM is not supportable, then all the Mobipocket books I have can't be converted to the Edge. I think that's what that means above. Maybe.
