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.
Your best way is to use ADE to transfer the borrowed books to your Kobo.

To do this you will need to plug your Kobo in then, open ADE then use winecfg to manually mount your Kobo in wine. Then you can transfer books using ADE.

1. run winecfg
2. go to the "Drives" tab
3. click "Add..."
4. chose your favorite letter
5. find the "Path:" text field and click the "Browse..." button next to that
6. find wherever your operating system has mounted the flash drive. In Ubuntu it'll be under /media
7. select your flash drive's mount point
8. click "OK" and then "OK" again.
