Downloading URLs from Adobe Sample eBook Library

Question

I’ve installed ADE 4.5.3 on my Windows 10 laptop and can download and read some of the books in the “Adobe Sample eBook Library” but most only provide a URL to download and I can’t see how to access those.

Examples: “Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland” is downloaded fine (a 1MB acsm file) and I can read it using ADE, but when I click to download “The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes” I just get a URL (1KB acsm file), which I can't seem to add to my Library or open in any way.

Any advice?

I think I figured it out. Having downloaded the URL, and then opened ADE, I click on File=>Add to Library, and then find the acsm file and open it (changing the file type from E-Books to Adobe Content Server Message). It then appears in the Library and can be read.
