I attempted to download an e-book from my library and in my downloads folder there is a file with the name URLLink-2.acsm. I thought I was downloading a PDF file, at least that's what I request.

And apparently I downloaded the book successfully. Or at least I checked it out successfully.

But the only thing in my downloads folder is the acsm file. In fact there are several probably due to my multiple attempts to download books. Is it a link to the e-book?

I'm still a novice to the e-book world, and would appreciate any help. With trial and error I figured out how to read PDF files on my old Kobo Vox, so if I can successfully download a PDF file to my SD card I can open it with Moon + Reader.
