Problems with .acsm file

[cshlomo2]

Hello,

I've purchased the book "The Shepherd" with my LG 500 Android device.

The downloaded format is .acsm which I can't open in Aldiko.

I've tried to use Astro, reinstall Aldiko - but both of them didn't help.

I was registered with my Adobe ID all the time in Aldiko.

Please help me open "the Shepherd" book in my mobile device.

Thanks

do you have adobe digital editions?  that's the program which would typically open an acsm file.

The .acsm file should look something like what I include below.  Open with any text editor such as Notepad.  Line spacing mught look different

If it doesn't look like that, the .acsm file is corrupt somehow.

When you do get a correct .acsm file and open it somewhere, it will actually download a real DRM encrypted .epub file.

You should be able to transfer the .epub file to another device and read it there as long as the device has a DRM capable epub reader and the device is registered to the same ID as the machin...

I think you should be able to open the .acsm file and recover the .epub directly using the Bluefire app on the LG 500.  I don't see why that should work any better than Aldiko, though.

Good luck

sample .acsm file for comparison
