How to open ACSM files to download ePub Books

Using /e/OS Applications
1

Hi everyone,

I’m a bit surprised about this acsm file. As I understand it is a download file to be able to read ePub document. It implement a security feature to be sure only authorized deviced are allowed to read this ePub.

I don’t know if this is correct, it is what I understood.

So, how can I read this on my FP3?

I tried to download it with Adobe Digital Edition 4.5, wich worked. I transfered the ePub file to my PH3 but I got message “Verschlüsselter Bereich” this mean somthing like it is encrypted area.

In Fdroid I did not found anything that could work with acsm files.

Anyone an idea how to read this on my FP3?

Thanks

Thanks for this link. I will have a look at it. For those who are worried that they can’t find a reference to a license on the web site, the license on github is GPL3 to that version should be kosher.

Note that the DeDrm plugin does not yet work with the latest version of Calibre (5.0). See here for more details.
