Reading apps that work with .acsm/Files

tomsem · 06-01-2021, 07:39 PM

IOS reading apps that is.

I’d like to be able to download an .acsm file, open that with some app using Adobe RMSDK, and save or move that to Files (and whenever I get back to the desktop, de-DRM).

There may not be one; I just was hoping to avoid having to do this on desktop all of the time (I have yet to install ADE on there).

I've not tried it, but you could try Adobe Digital Editions for iOS.

Have you tried Bluefire Reader? It can (or could at one point) supposedly handle .acsm files.

Yes, handling .ascm files is not the issue, it is being able to export the .epub file somehow to iCloud or whatever. Thanks for the reminder about Bluefire.

Looks like PocketBook Reader is another one to try.

Bluefire Reader seems to work. I can access its storage with the Files app and move/copy the epub file to a cloud location.

PocketBook looks like it would have worked as well, but also a lot of other features I don’t need.
