1. How to transfer Kobo ePUB to Sony eReader
Here is full guide on how to transfer DRM protected Kobo ePUB to Sony
eReader.
Most of the time you can use one of Kobo's free reading apps or a Kobo eReader to read
your eBooks. These will automatically add your Kobo Store books to your library and let
you read your books.
In a few cases you may need to use another application to work with your books. This free software is called Adobe
Digital Editions. Digital Editions can read all of the book formats offered in the Kobo Store. A format is the way a book
is saved for a computer or eReader to read.

When do I need to use Adobe Digital Editions?
If you use any of Kobo's free reading apps or a Kobo eReader, you may never need to use Digital Editions at all. Kobo's
reading apps and eReader can automatically download most books from the Kobo Store, and update your library with
them.
The exceptions are when:
You want to read eBooks from another store or from a library on a Kobo eReader;
You buy Adobe DRM PDFs from the Kobo Store and want to read them on a Kobo eReader;
You want to read books from the Kobo Store on an eReader from another company.
In these cases you will need to use Digital Editions to open your books and transfer them to your eReader.
The reason for this is that most eBooks from online booksellers and libraries are protected by Digital Rights
Management (DRM). DRM prevents the unauthorized copying or redistribution of eBooks, to protect the rights of
authors and publishers. There are different types of DRM, but Kobo supports a version by Adobe. This is why you may
need to use Adobe's software, Digital Editions, to open and transfer some eBooks to your eReader.
How do I get started with Digital Editions?
To use Adobe Digital Editions to manage, read, or transfer eBooks to an eReader you need:
free Adobe Digital Editions software

Before you can use Digital Editions to transfer books to your Kobo eReader, you must authorize your eReader with
Adobe. When you authorize your Kobo eReader, Adobe adds it to the list of devices associated with your Adobe
account. Adobe limits the number of eReaders and computers you can use with their software, which is why this is
necessary.

Adobe Digital Editions.

You will see a list of all the books you've bought from the Kobo Store.

"ADOBE DRM EPUB" or "ADOBE DRM PDF".)
Click the button to download the file.
Find the file you downloaded on your computer, and right-click it.
Select Open With, and then Reader Library.
Your Sony Reader Library will add your book to its library.

Why did I get an ACSM file when I downloaded my book from the Kobo Store?
Your Kobo eReader can read books in EPUB and PDF format. (A file format is how books are stored on your
computer.) If you downloaded a book and received an ACSM file, don't worry – this isn't a problem. The ACSM file is
the license for the PDF or EPUB book you bought. To get the book itself you just need to open the ACSM file in Adobe
Digital Editions. Digital Editions will verify your license and then download your eBook in either EPUB or PDF format.
You can then transfer your book to your Kobo eReader (or another compatible eReader).
You will get a license file if you download a book that is protected by Adobe Digital Rights Management (DRM). DRM
prevents the unauthorized copying or distribution of books, to protect the rights of authors and publishers. Most
books in the Kobo Store are protected by DRM.
