[FileType Plugin] ACSM input plugin - Page 50

DNSB · 06-04-2026, 01:49 PM

If the Kobo and the Pocketbook are activated using the same Adobe ID, you can use the same .acsm file (via calibre/ACSM for the Kobo or Pocketbook, directly on the Pocketbook). My preference is to download using calibre and then sending the book to the ereader with DRM intact since that way, I have a record of having read the book.

For me, I'll download the ePub from the ASCM file and the DRM will be removed. All in calibre.

I prefer not to remove DRM from loans since I don't own them.

Thank you. Tested and it worked as represented (although it reported authentication errors or corrupted files when importing the ADE info). However, after reading this entire thread and the warning about Adobe possibly revoking my ID, I decided to delete the plugin and continue using ADE as the intermediate step with the eventual deDRM into Calibre. Takes an extra 30 seconds.

Again, thank you to the author

You don't need to delete the ASCM Input plugin. It works the same as ADE. In fact, it works better because you don't end up with the ACSM file that you'll need to delete and you won't end up with an extra copy of the ePub in your ADE library.

That may be because it was a new install and AdobeID is now bytebooksID?
New installs need a bytebooks account.

That's excellent news that it works with ByteBooks.
