I was surprised that an online ebook shop would supply ebooks in different formats. I don't know if it is anything due to the original publisher but I hadn't come across it before.

I hadn't realised the thing with Plus books not paying if DRM removed. I'll remember that in the future and just look to only remove the DRM from the ones I've bought.

I tried my usual method of converting acsm to epub using Adobe DE but that didn't work due to some licensing server issue (must investigate later).

I have the DeACSM 0.016 plugin added to Calibre and entered my Adobe details. When I added the downlownloaded acsm file and tried to convert I get a window I get a " Could not convert the book because no supported source format was found". I then tried to sideload the bought book from my Aura and got a warning that it was a virtual book.

This is the first time I've tried using this plugin and presumeably I'm doing something wrong unless it is the Adobe licensing problem again.

Any thing obvious I'm getting wrong? Any suggestions for other things to try would be appreciated.

Thanks for the help.
