need help with coversion, adobe digital editions to kindle via calibre
i'll sort through legal debate of drm and read lectures about my lack of tech savvy. i just want to read on my kindle ! and i'm humbling asking for your help!
i've downloaded adobe digital editions and books from my local library. I've downloaded calibre as well. i open calibre and attempt to add the book from my adobe digital editions library...but there's nothing there. the book is there when i open adobe digital editions. but calibre doesn't seem to find it, even when i set it recognize all formats. what am i doing wrong? please help. i think if i could get it in calibre, i can covert and get it on my kindle...but i'm missing something. any help is appreciated. thanks. |

To get the book into Calibre, you would need to find it in the ADE folder on your computer, not the ADE program itself. For me, ADE books are in Documents > My Digital Editions. Copy the book from there to Calibre and you will be able to move it to another location like a reader, but you will not be able to open it or convert it because Calibre cannot open or convert anything that is DRM-infested.

You will not be able to covert a ADE file that is protected by DRM with calibre nor will you be able to read it on your Kindle. Have a look in the Kindle sub forum there are threads about DRM there that will answers your questions about it.
