ADDING LIBRARY BOOKS AND BOOKS FROM OTHER BOOK-
STORES
Want to borrow eBooks from a public library and read them on your eReader? Or maybe
you have eBooks from other sources that you’d like to add?
Most eBooks that you borrow and buy are protected using Digital Rights Management, or
DRM. They’re protected so that only you can read them (and in the case of library books,
only for a specific period of time). Your eReader can read books protected using Adobe
DRM, which is a form of DRM used by most libraries and booksellers.
You’ll know when you’ve bought or borrowed a book using this type of protection if the
library or bookseller gives you a file with an .acsm extension (rather than an .epub or .pdf
extension). The .acsm file contains licensing information for unlocking your book.
To read one of these books on your Kobo eReader you need to use an application called
Adobe Digital Editions. This application can open your .acsm file, read the licensing
information, download your book, and copy the book to your eReader.
To use Adobe Digital Editions with your eReader, you need:
• The free Adobe Digital Editions software
• An Adobe ID
You also need to authorize your eReader with Adobe before you can add books to it using
