Hi all, not sure if this is the right place to ask this... I bought a
novel from an online book store which is intended to be read using
Adobe Digital Editions. It seems I'm not able to take the according
epub file to read it in FBReader. I can open it in FBReader but there
is no content visible, probably because of the DRM.

Anyone knows how to open a DRM-ed epub book in FBReader?

You can't.

There are trivial methods of using a valid decryption key to
decrypt and then convert it into a regular epub book, but these
methods may not be legal, depending on your jurisdiction.

You can't defend freedom by getting rid of it.

As with any DRM-ridden ebook, you would have to strip the DRM first.
