Thank you DNSB.
Calbre - thank you for explaining the Calibre versioning. I probably misunderstood the first post/thread I read here.
I'm interpreting your comment re ADE as follows please confirm that for me.
1)I download the acsm file from the public library, using ADE, onto my desktop, in the current directory.
2) instead of using ADE to copy the acsm file to my Kobo device, I then open Calibre, to load and manage my Kobo device.
Borrowbox is owned by Bolinda. Overdrive is owned by Rakuten. They are both libraries of e-books, each holding a different collection. These are used by public libraries to loan e-books to clients, typically for a 3 week period. Not sure but I suspect Rakuten and Bolinda are effectively 'publishers'? Maybe other publishers use them to publish their books in e-book format for Public Library use?
They appear to use the same downloaded file, an Adobe acsm file, to manage that loan, ie, which book, goes to which client, for a specific period.
I don't know if there are alternative to the Adobe acsm file and its structure downloaded from Public Libraries?
I'm really just showing my ignorance of this whole area!
