Then I tried to open the book I bought but it just seems to open the link. When I bought the book and downloaded it, what I got was a file called URLLink.acsm which seems to be some sort of XML file rather than the content of a book - it's only 1.5 kB. I don't understand how to turn this URLLink.acsm file into the text of an actual book. I thought that's what Calibre and the plugin did?
AFAIK, that can only be done by Adobe Digital Editions (ADE). :-/
Maybe you can use the Android version.

Well, my wife has an ipad so I'm trying to use that. I've installed ADE but I don't see how to tell it to import/download the book from the website <https://www.kobo.com/gb/en/ebook/food-and-climate-change-without-the-hot-air> where it tells me 'You have this eBook' but not how to download it into ADE.????
Specifically, if I click on the three circle under the book cover and then click on Download, and then on Download file I get a message that says Firefox is unable to download or display this file. (I don't understand since this step worked with FF on openSUSE and gave me the acsm file). It also says would I like to open it in another app but when I say Yes I'm offered only Mail, Remiders, Add to Notes, Add to Reading List, Copy but none of them seem to do anything.
It's all very confusing.
Ok, a little progress. Start up safari instead of FF, repeat the whole logging in bit to kobo, repeat the download and this time it asks whether to open the book in ADE, so I say yes. And now I'm at a page that says 'Authorize Your Device' and have no idea what I'm supposed to do. There's a list of 'eBook Vendors' initially set at Adobe ID, but Kobo isn't in the list???? I like Adobe about as much as google, yahoo, oracle etc etc BTW, Kobo Reader says it isn't compatible with the iPad (it's fairly old, but still?
