After a couple of reboots I managed to briefly get ADE to see the book, so I 
quick returned it.

But now whenever I try to download the pdf, instead I get a .acsm file instead. 
 Checking around I find that this is the key to the pdf file, so I tried to 
open it in ADE, and ADE comes up but says, "Sorry, the file you are attempting 
to open cannot be opened by Digital Editions.”

This is impossible.  I can't read any books from OpenLibrary.
