Thanks for the tip, I was just going to try that.

I tried using ASTRO (file manager) to open the .acsm file, but it only offers Aldiko and Overdrive as choices. Unfortunately putting it in Bluefire/imports requires tethering, yes? I haven't found a way to save downloads to arbitrary storage locations (such as Bluefire/imports), or to move content after it is downloaded (I'm pretty new to Android however).

I also found that if the .ePub file was fulfilled by ADE and moved to Android Dropbox storage, you can tell Dropbox to open it with Bluefire, and BF will successfully 'verify loan' and open it. It's the only app I've found that can do this (have tried Mantano, Aldiko, txtr, Overdrive... they all report an 'error').
