Convert ACSM to PDF and EPUB Free

Posted by eReader Palace on Feb 3, 2015

Sometimes when we download a purchased eBook, we only get an ACSM file. Then we get totally confused, having no idea how to read the ACSM file. In fact, ACSM file is sort of “key”, it is always only 2-3 KB. All the eBooks protected by Adobe Adept DRM are coming from ACSM. If you want a complete PDF or EPUB book, you need to convert from the ACSM file. Download Adobe Digital Editions At first download the Adobe Digital Editions (ADE) from Adobe Official site, or click the button below. Download ADE (Win&Mac) Then open Adobe Digital Editions and authorize it with your Adobe account. If this is the first time you installed ADE, please press “Ctrl + Shift + U” (Mac users press “Command + Shift + U”) to authorize the program; If you’ve installed ADE before and wanted to switch an account, please press “Ctrl + Shift + D”(Mac users press “Command + Shift + D”) to wipe out the formal authorization information and re-authorize with the correct Adobe account Add ACSM File into Adobe Digital Editions Please do make sure the ACSM file is downloaded by your own account in online eBooks retailers, or you may fail to convert it to a complete EPUB or PDF book. To take an example, I download an ACSM file from my Kobo library, as Kobo is adopting Adobe’s content server service (in other words, protected by Adobe DRM). Now directly drag the .ACSM into Adobe Digital Editions, if you authorized with correct account, you will see the complete book is being downloaded. Once the process is finished, the book will add into ADE’s library and open up itself. Where to Find the Downloaded EPUB/PDF File When the book is displayed in ADE library, a complete EPUB or PDF file is also saved in computer. Both Windows and Mac computer users can find the content folder in the path “Documents\My Digital Editions“, you can also right click on the book cover and choose “Show File in Explorer (Finder for Mac)“. Frequently Asked Questions E_ADEPT_REQUEST_EXPIRED With this error code you always also see the “Unable to download, License Server Communication Problem” message, this means the .ACSM file is expired. For security or anti-piracy reason, every ACSM file need to be fulfilled in certain period after being generated. Therefore, if you meet such a problem,...

Free Kindle DRM Removal – Remove Kindle DRM for Reading on Any Device and Safe Back Up

Have you ever found that you paid for a Kindle book but you can’t read it on any device with any app you like? Have you ever complained that you paid for a Kindle book but you can’t share it with your family or best friend? Have you ever been frustrated for paying for a Kindle book but you can’t print some pages you need to paper? All these are caused by the DRM (Digital Rights Management), it is adopted by online eBook retailers to bind consumers with their own device or app, and the target is pretty clear, the market share. In fact, DRM brings consumers no benefits but inconvenience. Why Remove Kindle DRM? To read the book we paid for on any device or app we want, not only on Kindle, Kindle Paperwhite, Kindle Fire and Kindle app. To share with our family or best friend. When we buy a paper book or DVD disc, it’s totally OK to share with our family or friends, why it becomes impossible for Kindle books? To make this book 100% owned by us. You might not have realized that in fact you are just “renting” a Kindle book, Amazon can make this book no longer owned by you even without informing you. Here is a true story. In other words, only by removing DRM you can make a safe backup for purchased Kindle books. Print the pages out as we want. We are not just buying fictions from Amazon, sometimes we also buy textbooks or reference books, like recipes. Therefore, printing some specific pages to paper for better usage is a pretty normal and reasonable demand. A True Story This story happened in 2012 and was reported by The Guardian, New York Times, and some other authoritative media. Here I am telling the story in brief if you do not want to read the whole story. There is an Amazon consumer called Linn, one day she received an email from Amazon.co.uk and told her that “her account is directly related to another which has been previously closed for abuse of our policies”, and the staff from Amazon didn’t want to reveal more details about the “previously closed account” or how they link the accounts together. As a result, Linn’s account is revoked and all her purchased Kindle titles are gone, without refund or anything compensation, the...

Posted By eReader Palace on Mar 16, 2019 | 0 comments

All along, when it comes to transferring files to the iPhone or iPad, we think of iTunes. Admittedly, iTunes is a good software that can help us solve many problems with iOS devices, but its biggest problem is that it is too heavy. Even if we only need to transfer a 200KB e-book, we need to take out the data cable to connect the phone to the computer, open iTunes, and wait for it to scan the contents of the phone and complete the...
