I have a windows 8 computer. I use Calibre 32 (I had problems with the 64 version) and ADE 1.7. I checked out some books from the library, and they did not not show up in ADE, they were in the Overdrive App. When I tried to put them into Calibre, I just had an .ascm file, which opened up in my Overdrive app. After fooling around with this for several hours, I uninstalled the app. Then, when I tried to download the books for import into Calibre, Windows 8 had to be told to open it with ADE.

Save yourself some frustration, and make sure to uninstall the Overdrive app in your Windows 8 computer
