Some guy with a blog called "I♥CABBAGES" seems to have reverse engineered ePub DRM, and some other guy wrote a detailed How-To guide here:
Free epubs from Adobe ADEPT DRM
Which refer to scripts you can find here:
Circumventing Adobe ADEPT DRM for EPUB
Note: If you get the error: "Not an ADEPT EPUB", then your ePub file is missing the META-INF/rights.xml
file in its archive because it probably wasn't downloaded from the publisher correctly. Here's how to resolve the issue:
- Re-download the book from the store you bought the book from and observe that you just get a
.acsm
file instead of a.epub
file. - Instead of inspecting the contents of this
.acsm
file to get a link to a.epub
file, you will have to open the.acsm
file in Adobe's "Digital Editions" software (which is a horrendous piece of crap, by the way). - After opening the
.acsm
file, Digital Editions will put a working.epub
file inMy Documents/My Digital Editions
on Windows. It probably does something equivalent in MacOS, use your intuition to figure out where it might put the file. - Run the scripts mentioned on the Circumventing Adobe ADEPT DRM for EPUB page on this
.epub
file.
There is also a method specific to Barnes & Noble:

There is a blog post with tools that worked for me:
It has updates to original tool from "I♥CABBAGES" and also plugis to Calibre.
