This started happening this evening after downloading a new epub this evening.

There is 0 reference to this online.

Any help?

I'm so glad I found this thread, had no idea this plugin existed for Calibre to remove ACSM directly there and I just installed it and it worked like a charm, now I do everything with Calibre, this is the perfect set up. Thanks a lot

I hate Calibre

I have managed to use purely Pyhton and the DeACSM plugin

Install the latest version Python and then uncompress the plugin and using CLI:

cd .\Downloads\DeACSM\
pip install oscrypto

python register_ADE_account.py

When registering I got an error which I fixed by changing libadobe.py

str_to_hash = serial + devkey_bytes.decode('latin-1')

to:
str_to_hash = serial + devkey_bytes

hashed_str = hashlib.sha1(str_to_hash.encode('latin-1')).digest()

to:
hashed_str = hashlib.sha1(str_to_hash).digest()

Possibly the latest version doesn't need to, I have not checked.

And then the last command:

python fulfill.py Windows_PowerShell_Step_by_Step-epub.acsm

Then you can follow a similar method using the DeDRM plugin. No Calibre needed. But, of course, this is not for regular users.

I put in refund requests for all the books facing this issue. Google has issued refunds for them. I am just going to buy them elsewhere.

It is not a solution...But at least not paying for nothing.

So, this means it's an Adobe Digital Editions issue and they are not going to fix it.

I must be doing something wrong. Used Calibre and installed DeDRM and DeACSM enabled them and turned Calibre off then restarted. Installed book but when I try to read it it diverts to ADE with same error message

Anyone help?

My solution is with calibre, download and install the plugin DeACSM, log with my adobe account in the plugin configurartion, restart calibre, then add the acsm to the calibre library, the epub file will be downloaded to the calibre folder.

Oct 2nd 2024 and I get the same error. The book I purchased from Google is in both pdf and epub format, the pdf format worked fine. It seems to be specific to epub only

Is this related to specific books or all?

I'm having troubles with the The Prince by Machiavelli: https://play.google.com/store/books/details?id=orOkDwAAQBAJ

Same issue here.

Maybe when Google Books sales start dropping off, they will address the issue.

Will look into Kobo; Kindle is not an option.

Colleagues, there is currently no solution to this error.
The best option is:
1. Ask Google to refund the book;
2. Buy the book from another supplier. I bought it again from Kobo.
Have a good week.

I'm having the same problem. I sent an e-mail to Google, but the answer keeps being the same and only says I should ask here. Will it be released over time? I've been so frustrated for days. T T

Something similar has happened previously (seriously, search for adobe digital editions / google play / issues and you'll see this crops up from time to time over the years). I give this a few weeks, and then your purchases will probably work again. For some reason Google is terrible at telling anyone what is actually happening, or if they're actually solving the issue, but each time I've encountered it, they manage to fix it after a few weeks.

Sucks if you want to download whatever you bought immediately though.

Yes, this is not the first time I've encountered it, either. It never lasted this long previously, though. Google is such a behemoth, these book sales likely are about as significant as a mosquito bite on a brontosaurus.
