I have recently found a book that I have been searching for on ebooks.com. Alas, their proprietary reader, eBook Reader (a name which makes searching for specific info nearly impossible!), is not up to scratch (you can only change the font to one serif font and the line spacing in 25% increments) so I need to export the book file, de-DRM it and convert it. I think the files are Adobe DRM with 32 character hex-numerical names.

Has anyone worked with these "eBook Reader" files?

Do I need to do any more than copy the file into Calibre and cook it accordingly? Answer: I do - the book is stored (on Android) in /data/data/com.ebooks.ebooksreader/files/books/(32 character hex-numerical name but with no file extension) and fail if dragged into the Adobe Digital Editions (which doesn't ask me for my Adobe ID...).
