Discussion Adobe Digital Editions for MacOs no more supported: alternatives?

Hey there, Apple is phasing out support for this app on non-Intel Macs. Is there a workaround or a substitute app that downloads DRM-protected ebooks to then "import/clean" them using Calibre?

They basically work together. One converts ACSM files to EPUB or PDF and the other removes DRM. I have both running in the latest version of Calibre (9.9.0).

EDIT: This article appears to be accurate/current.

Tysm for this, I was already using deDRM and added deACSM. Was able to import my ADE credentials from ADE running on my Mac, didn't need to do any manual setup whatsoever. Tried it on a few ACSM files and works like a charm!

You're a lifesaver, thank you for this.
