You
need
to
provide
this
even
if
you

credit
or
a

Most
eBooks
that
you
borrow
and
buy
are
protected
using
Digital
Rights
Management,
or
DRM.
They're
protected
so
that
only
you
can
read
them
(and
in
the
case
of
library
books,
only
for
a
specific
period
of
time).
Your
eReader
can
read
books
protected
using
Adobe
DRM,
which
is
a
form
of
DRM
used
by
most
libraries
and
booksellers.
You'll
know
when
you've
bought
or
borrowed
a
book
using
this
type
of
protection
if
the
library
or
bookseller
gives
you
a
file
with
an
.acsm
extension
(rather
than
an
.epub
or
.pdf
extension).
The
.acsm
file
contains
licensing
information
for
unlocking
your
book.
To
read
one
of
these
books
on
your
Kobo
eReader
you
need
to
use
an
application
called
Adobe
Digital
Editions.
This
application
can
open
your
.acsm
file,
read
the
licensing
information,
download
your
book,
and
copy
the
book
to
your
eReader.
There
are
different
types
of
EPUBs,
as
well:
Kobo
EPUBs,
which
come
from
the
Kobo
store,
and
other
EPUBs,
which
come
from
other
sources.
EPUBs
may
or
may
not
support
all
the
features
that
Kobo
EPUBs
have.
Note:
Some
other
EPUBs
might
show
a
page
number
in
the
margin
that
came
from
the
original
book.
You
can
turn
this
feature
on
or
off
in
Advanced
Settings
in
the
Reading
Menu.
Once
you’ve
found
books
that
you
want
to
read,
you
can
choose
from
several
ways
to
add
them
to
your
eReader.
You
can
transfer
books
using:
Which
method
works
best
depends
on
whether
your
books
are
protected
by
DRM,
and
where
they
came
from.
If
you
purchase
books
from
Kobo,
you
can
add
them
to
your
eReader
using
a
wireless
connection
or
using
the
free
Kobo

software
for
your
computer.
If
your
books
are
protected
by

you
can
add
them
to
your

using
Adobe
Digital

If
your
books
are
not

by

you
can
add
them
to

using:
To
