If your browser offers an Open/Save option during file downloads, choose 'Open with Adobe Digital Editions (default)'. This will open the Adobe Digital Editions reader and your eBook will then be added to the Digital Editions library.

If you choose the 'Save' option, or if your browser automatically saves with no indications, you must then navigate to your download folder ('My Downloads') and click on the scripted link file (URLLink.acsm) to launch it. Doing so is the equivalent of choosing the 'Open with' file download dialog option. It opens the program and installs your eBook into the Digital Editions library.
