If you download an eBook from an online ebook store, and you want to read the book on your Kindle eReader, the resolution is to convert acsm to Kindle. You would ask why and how to do it. Don't worry. You will get the comprehensive answer in this article.

To read acsm on a Kindle, follow these 4 steps.

Step 1 Using Adobe Digital Editions to open your ACSM files.

Step 2 Once opened, the ACSM will be saved as ePub or PDF.

Step 3 Remove DRM from the ACSM.

Step 4 Convert ACSM to Kindle supported format.

The following 4 parts will address all your questions.

Part 1: What's an ACSM File

After you purchase an eBook online from the public library or a private bookseller, you can download it to have a look.

However, typically the downloaded file uses an .acsm suffix. In other words, the majority of the books you got from online stores are in ACSM format.

You may be confused about this file type since the acsm is not your actual eBook. It's actually a download link to your eBook.

Part 2: How to Open with ACSM File

Free Kindle Content

ACSM stands for Adobe Content Server Manager. This name suggests that Adobe manages the downloading of the ACSM file.

I would recommend using Adobe program Adobe Digital Editions to open your acsm file. It's also the best acsm ebook reader.

Step 1, create an Adobe account and authorize it.

Step 2, run ADE program and open acsm with it.

Double click acsm file and ADE will automatically start downloading your book as PDF or ePub, which is the actual eBook you purchased.

Step 3, read acsm file in ADE. (how to read books on ADE)

Tips:

ACSM doesn't allow us to reproduce and transfer, and it can only be used on the computer where you have downloaded the books. So I can't stress this enough: Before you buy Adobe ebooks, whether PDF or ePub, please install the Adobe Digital Editions. Only by using this software you can open the acsm file and read it on your computer.

The details are referred to at these links:

Part 3: How to Add ACSM File to Kindle

As previously explained the ACSM file can only be opened with ADE on your PC. If you try to open this file with any application such as Kindle for PC rather than ADE, it will issue an error message.

This is because once we download an acsm file and open it with ADE, the acsm file will be associated to ADE (Adobe Adept DRM). There is no compatibility with Kindle or iPad. Even worse, if we want to read acsm on Kindle, there is another problem we have to solve besides the DRM protection. It's the format limitation. This is because the Kindle only supports its own format such as AZW3, AZW, MOBI, PRC, TPZ but not the common ePub or PDF.

So here you may find the key to resolve your problem to read acsm on Kindle: Remove Adobe DRM and convert ACSM to Kindle format.

By following the steps below and installing Epubor Ultimate. It is the best DRM Removal + eBook Converter.

1Install Epubor Ultimate.

2Remove Adobe DRM.

When you launch Epubor Ultimate, you will see your downloaded ACSM file are listed under Adobe tab on the left side panel. All you need to do is to add your files to the right main window to remove DRM.

As you can see, DRM will be removed automatically. You can also have a look at how to remove DRM from .acsm file.

Notice:

If you download Kobo eBooks from Kobo official site, the downloaded file will be ACSM. But, if the books are downloaded via Kobo for PC/Mac, the file will be Kepub instead of acsm. If you want to read Kobo on your Kindle, you should read this article regarding how to read Kobo kepub on Kindle.

After downloading a .mobi file, there are three ways to add it to your Kindle library. We recommend first trying to use Amazon's Send to Kindle desktop app. If that doesn't work, you can send files to your Kindle using your email or transfer the file with a USB cord. If you are having trouble using the Prolific Works App to download to your Kindle app, click here.

Send to Kindle App from a Computer

If you are on a computer (Windows or Mac), there is a program you can download called Send to Kindle. It is an official Amazon program that will quickly get mobi and pdf ebook files from your computer to your Amazon Kindle account.

1. Download the appropriate Send to Kindle for your device. (If you have a pc, download Send to Kindle for PC, if you have a mac, download Send to Kindle for Mac, etc).
2. When you’ve downloaded the program, find it on your computer (usually you should be able to find it in your “Downloads” folder). This will open an “Installer”. This Installer will guide you through the installation of the Send to Kindle program onto your device. Follow the instructions it gives you.
3. Once you download and install this program, it will ask you to log in to your Amazon account.
4. Find the attachment at the top or bottom of the email called “Here is your claimed book!”, and click on the attachment to download the file.
5. Find the ebook file (.mobi or .pdf only) on your computer where you saved it (when you download a file, it is automatically sent to your “Downloads” folder unless you have picked a different default location for downloads or saved it elsewhere), and drag the file into the Send to Kindle app where it says “Drop files here”.
6. Put a checkmark next to the device you want to send your file to and click “Send”.
7. You should see a dialogue box that reads “Upload complete'. Give us a few minutes to format and deliver your document. Please ensure your Kindle is connected to the network to receive your document. Select the “OK” button
   
8. The book should appear in your Kindle library. If it doesn’t, select “Sync & Check for Items” and check if your book has arrived. This may take a few minutes. If you have a Kindle Fire, the book might be found in the “Docs” section, and the cover may not appear until you have opened the book.

Send From Your Email

If Send to Kindle doesn’t work for you, send files directly to your Kindle email. You'll first need to find your Kindle email address through Amazon.com, and then you'll be able to forward your book file to your Kindle.

Adding an Approved Kindle Email Address

1. Login to your Amazon account through the Amazon website.
   1. If you live in the United Kingdom, use Amazon's international site.
   2. If you live in Canada, use Amazon's international site.
   3. If you live in Australia, use Amazon's international site.
2. You will be brought to the 'Your Content and Devices' page. Select the “Preferences” tab.
3. Scroll down to 'Personal Document Settings' and click on the header to expand the section. You will see a list of your Kindle email addresses (i.e.____@kindle.com). There will be one email address listed for each Kindle device you own.
4. Make sure the personal email you use to claim your books is on the 'Approved Personal Document E-mail List,' which is also in the “Personal Document Settings” section (just below “Send-to-Kindle E-Mail Settings”). If it is not, click on 'Add a new approved e-mail address' and add the personal email address that you claim books from Prolific Works with here.
   

Send Your Files to Your Kindle Email

2. Forward your Prolific Works email, along with the book file you received from us, to your Kindle email address. Your Kindle email address is the email address that you use to access Amazon.com, but with '@kindle.com' as its domain.

When sending the email, make sure to change the Subject line to 'Convert'.
3. Now go to the Kindle App for the device. Click the Sync button, and wait a few minutes for it to sync, although it should happen right away.
