Thank you for the guide on Aldiko. I might use Calibre one day, I haven't found the info from Apprentice Alf's blog on where to get the plugins and if I can get the plugins to work. My wish is the developers of Calibre would include popular plugins eg. Kobo, Amazon etc into the Calibre setup.exe, so then it is a "one click" approach, install Calibre and I can be assured I can remove the DRM without having to go through additional steps of searching for plugins, installing plugins, testing plugins. For now, since Aldiko can read Adobe DRM e-Pub, I don't need to use Calibre.
I have all my Adobe DRM e-Pub files which I downloaded using Adobe Digital Editions. I downloaded the Adobe DRM e-Pub file each time I buy a book from Kobo in case Kobo close shop and I may lose all my ebooks.
From your reply, to do what I planned to do, I will do this:
1. Download/install Aldiko on smart phone
2. Authorise Aldiko with the same Adobe ID that I use
3. Copy the e-Pub file from my computer to SD card
4. Open Aldiko and import the e-pub file
When I finish a book, I can remove it from the library via Aldiko, and import more books into Aldiko. The library on the Aldiko will be free of "clutter" since I can add/remove books to/from Aldiko at will. I have no worry over potential "loss" of the e-books, whether from Kobo or Aldiko, since I have the e-pubs on my computer.
