I am trying to get books borrowed through Borrowbox onto my Kobo. Borrowbox downloads a .acsm file as the books expire after three weeks.

I understand that if I open a .acsm file in Adobe Digital Editions then I can add the resulting epub to calibre and send it to my already authorised reader where I can then read it. However, when I tried this with a book borrowed from Borrowbox it told me that the loan had expired. I can open the book in Calibre and the Kobo still reports that it is authorised to the correct account.

Is there something else I need to do with borrowed books?

I am using Adobe Digital Editions under wine on Ubuntu.

Any ideas?

Thanks.
I have a suggestion. Try ADE under Windows. I have no experience with ADE under Wine. But I know that under Windows, ADE works properly.
