Okay, this is what I'm not sure of - when I download a DRM book from say Books on Board, which doesn't have it's own PC based or ereader based software, what program do you save it to?

If you save it to Calibre then it's the ACSM version that you're downloading and that shows up in Calibre. Then if you go to open that it auto opens in my Sony PC Reader.

My understanding is that Calibre can't open ACSM files until they have been downloaded into Epub files.

Is that correct?

I'm not talking here about the Alf Plugins, but about the process of downloading an ACSM file and if it needs to be converted into an Epub prior to being imported into Calibre.
