Default Converting Ebooks to Epub Format?

Ugh I'm soooo annoyed.. so I'm trying to download a book from my local library to put on my nook,

it downloads with the ending ".acsm"
Which of course my Nook wouldn't recognize.. I downloaded, Calibre Converter which is well known for ebooks. and it says it can't do it!

ugh wtf?!

.acsm is not the eBook itself, but a download ticket.
You need to open it in Adobe Digital Edition and it will download the eBook in ePub format to ~/Documents/Digital Editions. Then it should work with your Nook just fine.

Okay, I shall try that after I'm done eating.

Thank you!. You think when they say click to download ebook here for epub readers it would mean it's in the right damn format! -.-

Add the book to Calibre, go to Edit metadata, add the cover you want, then go to Convert book and convert again to ePub. There you go.

@Haydenish

Are you aware if public library ebooks have DMR? and that would stop me from adding a cover? Because Ive tried it a few times and it seemed like it worked, then when I put it on my nook it was no different. So then, when I tried to view it, like view the ebook in Calibre it said that the Ebook is locked by DMR. So...Is that why the cover won't work?


Thanks much and I'm sorry for being so annoying!
