Thanks, hannahi. You response was very useful. I think it would be good to get your home system sorted our first. Then it will be easier to duplicate it at the office. It is important that you use the same Adobe IDs for both computers because that's the key to unlock the DRM encryption on the ebook.

Many people get confused by the acsm files. When I borrow a library book, it also downloads an acsm file to a folder on my computer. You need to right-click on the acsm file with your mouse. Then select Open With > Reader Library. That action will then auto-launch the Sony Reader Library and then auto-import the book into the software and also auto-copy the EPUB (or PDF) file to a folder on your hard-drive in Documents > My Books > Reader Library. Depending on the size of the book and your internet connection, it might take a minute or so to import the book. On the left hand column of the Sony software is a category called Status. Click on that and it has a progress bar and displays a completed message when it is done.
