923. EPUB Converter ASCM to Kindle Formats

Occasionally when you borrow an eBook from a public library (FREE people) the book is available only in .ASCM format. Not good for a Kindle! So,

1. Tell your library system to send an EPUB. It will instead send you a .ASCM file. You now need to convert it to an .epub file AND then to a .mobi file that the Kindle 1 recognizes. 

2. Adobe Digital Editions  (download it if you do not have it, set up an Adobe ID (login) to authorize your device (Windows 10). 

3. Copy (or drag) the .acsm file downloaded into Adobe Digital Editions library and READ. This will download the book as a .EPUB file in it's output folder. Locate the .EPUB file on your PC (I use EVERYTHING [slick, download if you don't have it) to find files anywhere on your PC by name or text search]. 

4. Now you need an EPUB to MOBI converter. Be aware that almost all online converters will not remove DRM protection, so get a PC version. I have Any Ebook converter that can be downloaded from  https://www.any-ebook-converter.com/Download . Install, start it. Copy the EPUB over to it by dragging from location found in 3 above. 

5. Bring up Any Ebook Converter, drag the .EPUB into it, hit Convert to MOBI. Again ring up folder with the .MOBI file in it

6. Attach your Kindle to PC via the USB cable and bring up it's Documents folder. Now copy the .MOBI file to you DOCUMENTS folder on the Kindle. To get it to display on "For You" screen, yuo might have to put it in KINDLE, eBooks, or Books folders; haven't quite figured this out yet.

7. You should now have it on Kindle. Enjoy reading it.

Note: ePub can be bought for a cheap $14 and change. It allows up to 10 conversions as a trial before purchasing. GO to to read all about ePub Converter tools for details.
