Apologies if this has been covered recently but everything I've searched here or googled seems obsolete...

I'm new to Kobo (loving the Clara 2e) and just bought my first two books. I want to download them and import them into Calibre.

First I tried downloading them from the Kobo website. I get .acsm files that look like links. I haven't figured out anything I can do with those directly.

It sounds like ADE knows what to do with .acsm files but it looks like ADE for mac has gone away.

I downloaded the Kobo Reader app for mac. The links that tell me where to look for the associated Kobo book directory are obsolete for the latest version of MacOS. I've tried searching my drive for .kepub files. I can't find them.

I had partial success using the DeDRM/Obok 10.0.3 (latest) plugin for Calibre (latest) and a mounted Clara 2e. It successfully imported one book, but claimed it couldn't decrypt the second.

So, have I missed something?

Thanks in advance!
