I just bought a book from Kobo. I opened my Kobo app on my Mac (and was told to upgrade it), and tried to read the new book. It had an error and told me to sign off and sign on, which I did. Then it opened on the app. I tried to find the app to load it into Calibre, but couldn't find it.

So I went to the web and found out that I could re-download it as a DRM protected epub. Well, if I can't break it, I will never buy another book from Kobo.

I downloaded it, and in my downloads file, was a file named URRLink.acsm. That won't be useful for Calibre, but I opened it and the Apple Reader wanted me to enter an Adobe ID and Adobe password.

Before getting an Adobe ID, I thought I'd ask you what this would get me. Will I be able to put the book in Calibre? Will I be able to use other readers on my iPad besides Kobo for this book?

What do you recommend?
