Part 2. Read Google books offline on Mac
If you are not satisfied with the online web reader, you can also read Google books offline on Mac. Here I will introduce two different ways to read Google books offline. You can practice the one you like best after knowing how it works. To read Google books offline on Mac, we have to download google play books to Mac at first.
Must-have stepDownload Google play books on Mac
Go to My Books-->>Ebooks, you will see all your purchased Google Play Books in your library. Find the book you want to download and click the three dots under the book cover and you will see that there some options as below picture.
Here you will encounter two possible scenarios at this process.
Scenario 1: When you click on 'Download EPUB' or 'Download PDF' , you will download the google books as epub file or PDF file directly.
In this situation, you can just open these epub or pdf file with your Adobe Digital Editions for reading.
Scenario 2: When you click on 'Download EPUB' or 'Download PDF' , you will get the acsm file instead of EPUB or PDF file.
But what is ACSM file? Generally speaking, ACSM file is not a real ebook but you can consider it as the link for you to download the real Google books. But you need to do more steps before downloading the real google play books which is authorizing your computer with your Adobe ID. If you do not have one, just create one at the official Adobe website. If you still have not installed the Adobe Digital Editions, please download it here.
Authorize Adobe ID as below instruction.
Google Play Store For Mac
Run Adobe Digital Editions. At your Menu bar, click 'Help'-->>'Authorize Computer'. The authorize window will pop up. Just fill in your Adobe ID and passwords, and then click on 'Authorize' button to finish the authorization.
When you have successfully authorized your computer with Adobe ID, just drag and drop the .ACSM file to the main interface of Adobe Digital Editions. The google books will be downloaded automatically.
When the google book has been downloaded to your computer completely, it will open automatically at the Adobe Digital Editions as below picture.
Also, you can find this downloaded books at your computer at the folder at its default path: /user/user name/Documents/Digital Editions. In below picture, you can see that this book is not with the extension .acsm, but .pdf which means this book has been downloaded successfully.
If you are still confused of downloading Google book, you may find the answer in this article: How to Download Google Books to PDF.
Read Google books on mac with Adobe Digital Editions
Since Google Play does not develop its own reader apps, it allows you to download your google play books(.acsm file) on mac via Adobe Digital Editions. What's more, when Google books has been downloaded successfully with ADE, it will automatically open in ADE. That's why ADE is the first tool I want to share here for reading Google books on mac. It can open and read Adobe adept DRM protected eBooks, like Google play books.
Read Google books in iBooks or any other third party reader app
As the Mac user, I bet you must be very familiar with the iBooks, the built-in eBook reader on Mac computer. It is an amazing thing to read your books on mac in iBooks, right? It is universal known that Google books are protected by Adobe's DRM while the iBooks app can only open epub or pdf ebooks without DRM protection or purchased from iBooks store. To read Google books in iBooks, we have to remove DRM from Google play books. Addictive drums 2 download mac.
It is a very easy step with the help of one powerful tool--Epubor Ultimate which can remove DRM from eBooks purchased from Google play, Amazon Kindle and Kobo.
Download the tool for free:
Run Epubor Ultimate, you will see the downloaded book will automatically load under the Adobe tab at the left side bar. Just drag the book from left to right column and the book will be decrypted automatically. Easy like ABC, right?
When the the google play book has been decrypted, you can click on 'Decrypted' or the folder icon to open the output folder stored the decrypted google books.

Double click the book cover to read google books in iBooks. You can see clearly the google play books display very well at the iBooks library.

Since you get the DRM-FREE Google books, you can also read this book at any other third party eBook reader apps. I know some ebook lovers prefer to managing all of their books at one reader apps for better management.

If you didn’t know, you can browse tons of books online at Google Books. According to Wikipedia, the number of scanned books was over 15 million as of 2010. You are able to read some of the ebooks online for free at Google Books if the book is out of copyright or the publisher has given Google permission. To know which books are available to read online, just look for “Full View” instead of “Snippet View” or “No Preview Available”. You may also noticed that some of the ebooks can be downloaded in PDF or EPUB format from the settings drop down menu if it is in the public domain.
Some of the ebooks especially Magazines cannot be downloaded. You are able to view every pages without restriction but there are no Download EPUB or Download PDF option at the settings drop down menu. If you really need to read it offline or show it someone without an internet connection, probably your best bet would be taking screenshot of all the pages which is very time consuming and tedious. Alternatively, you can automate the process by using a free software called Google Books Downloader.
At the first step of installation, make sure you select Custom installation and then uncheck Install Arccosine as it doesn’t have anything to do with Google Books Downloader. If you’ve accidentally installed Arccosine, not to worry because it only changes the default Internet Explorer start page. All you need to do is go to Internet Options and reset the default home page.
All you need to do is enter the Google Book URL, select the output format either in PDF or image (JPEG or PNG) format, select the resolution that would fit nicely on your screen and set the output folder which by default is your desktop. Then click the Start button and wait for a couple of minutes. If you’ve selected PDF as output image, it will save the book as PDF format at the output folder and as for image format, it will be saved into a new folder.
Do note that Google Books Downloader can only download ebooks that you can view. It cannot bypass and download the full ebook that are not available for preview or snippet preview. Google Books Downloader is free and works on Windows and Mac.

bookworm.evil.so/ This tools is much better than google books downloader.

ReplyTried it as it seemed like a good program, but i found it to be useless.
I tried a few books, but when i try to read the pdf it seems like the program have skipped 3-4 pages every 2-3 pages.
What i mean is that i can read 2-3 pages, the 3-4 pages are skipped, then another 2-3 pages are readable, then it has skipped 3-4 pages again, and it continues through the whole book.
I’m trying to search on google for another tool just like this to see if it works better.

I would recommend NOT installing this; after installing, GoogleBooksDownloader reset my browser bookmarks to a site in the Russian Federation, arccosine. com.
ReplyI’d suggest you to read the whole article next time.

ReplyUnderstood, Raymond… and you’re right that he didn’t carefully read. But an argument could be made that you really shouldn’t be referring us to software that does malwarish things like ijacking the browser. Yes, it’s good that you warn people about it, and how to avoid it: kudos to you for that. However, I think you should conform to a higher standard of never referring us to anything which does anything in an underhanded way, just generally.
The problem with software and its makers is little different from in life: if you knew someone who did an underhanded thing, you would not trust him/her regarding other things. His/her underhanded act would suggest to you something bad about his/her integrity (or, more precisely, his/her lack, of it); and so you’d always not-quite-trust him/her regarding a whole range of things in life. Or at least that’s how most people would be.
It’s exactly the same with software makers. Any of them who do something inherently bad — like browser hijacking, against which many anti-malware/anti-spyware/anti-adware packages protect — are clearly integrity-challenged; and so it’s just wrong, then, to recommend their products.
That’s just an opinion, mind you; just a constructive criticism. I remain a huge fan of you and your site…
…but I’m just sayin’. Just tryin’ to help.
KEEP-UP THE GOOD WORK!
