Where are library ebook files saved after I download them to my computer?

After you download an EPUB or PDF ebook to your computer, you can find its ACSM file in your computer's "Downloads" folder. The ACSM file is not the actual ebook; instead, it's a file that Adobe Digital Editions uses to download and open the ebook.

Once you open the ebook in Adobe Digital Editions, the actual EPUB or PDF file for the ebook will be stored in your computer's "[My] Digital Editions" folder (under "Documents").

Note that ACSM, EPUB, and PDF files from your library expire, meaning that they will only work for a limited time after you download them.
