I PURCHASED SEVERAL BOOKS FROM GOOGLE PLAY STORE AND FOLLOWED THE

INSTRUCTIONS TO DOWNLOAD THEM SO I COULD READ THEM ON MY NOOK COLOR BUT THE

RESULTING FILES SEEM NOT TO BE RECOGNIZED BY ADOBE DIGITAL EDITIONS VER.

1.7.2 AND EACH ATTEMPT RESULTS IN THE MESSAGE: Sorry, the file you are

attempting to open cannot be opened by Digital Editions.

THE FILE NAMES FOR THE BOOKS ARE ATTACHED. I FOUND IT STRANGE THAT ALTHOUGH

"private 1 suspect-epub.acsm" does not cause this error but the others do.

I purchased "private 1 suspect-epub.acsm" from Google Market (now PLAYSTORE)

a few weeks earlier. What could be the cause of the problem?

Any suggestions?

Ben, I'm not sure what is going on here. So let me write something about

the process generally, and maybe it will help you to determine why this is

happening.

Generically: the download process usually begins with the source. That

source would interact with you and then provide an .ascm pointer

file. After the pointer file is generated, the source should start Digital

Editions on your computer, and Digital Editions will read the pointer file,

find the ebook and download it - all automagically.

Part of the download process can include choosing the format for the

ebook. Digital Editions is limited to certain formats. They include

.epub, .txt and .pdf file types. The most common format is .epub. So, when

you interacted with Google books, you probably got the chance to choose the

type of file you wanted. If you chose a format OTHER than .epub, .txt or

.pdf, Digital Editions can't do anything with it, and thus the message.
