Share ebooks with your family and friendsAny Adobe DRM-ed file can be downloaded to a limitednumber of devices (6 mobile devices or computers).That means, for instance, that you can also send the bookto your Android smartphone. Or, when you buy an AdobeDRM supported eReader (like Nook or Kobo) for your wifeor children, they can read books stored in your computer,after their new device is authorized with your Adobe ID.One clarification. Adobe DRM system is not a cloudbookshelf where you have access to your archived books,like the one in Kindle Store, or Barnes & Noble, or Kobo.The content of the books won’t be synced betweendifferent devices using the same Adobe ID.Adobe ID is just the system to identify the device eligibleto open the DRM-ed file.1.

eBooks TutorialStep 3:Download your LexisNexis eBook1. When you click the download link on yourLexisNexis eBook email, what you are reallydownloading is an .acsm file. There is a lot ofconfusion about this file type as the .acsmis not your actual eBook. It is just a link toyour eBook that allows a program like DigitalEditions or Bluefire Reader to download theactual book.2. When you download the .acsm file youshould be presented with the option tosave the file or open it with Digital Editions/Bluefire. Choose Open with Digital Editions/Bluefire.3. When Digital Editions/Bluefire sees the.acsm file it will automatically download thePDF or ePUB file, which is the actual eBook,and then unlock the file’s DRM so that itbecomes readable. At this point you shouldbe able to read the eBook.March 2013 5
