Oh please someone help! I'm trying to figure out how to get a just-purchased epub book from Adobe Digital Editions into Calibre so I can remove the DRM and read it on my kindle.. I've installed the DRM removal plugins.

However: If I try to "get book" from the download folder, all Calibre finds is an address for the book that doesn't turn into a book, despite plugins that were supposed to remove the DRM. I tried sending the file to my kindle, but that didn't work either. I'm also unable to "get book" from my ADE library, because ADE doesn't show up in the list of selectable things on my desktop and Calibre doesn't see it.
So how in the world do I get the book into Calibre in a form in which the DRM can be stripped and I can read it on my kindle?

Thanks, all you gurus out there.
You are not going to get much in the line of answers here since detailed discussion of DRM and it's removal are disallowed.

Some general comments:

The file in your downloads folder would be a .acsm (Adobe content server message) file which tells ADE how to download the file. It is not a book as such. You will need to use ADE to download the book file.

What OS are you using? If Windows, from calibre's Add books, browse to the My Digital Editions directory in your Documents directory. Oddly, if I recall correctly, the same for Mac OS but not at a Mac now so not certain.
