I clicked on DeDRM then clicked the customize button the configuration for "Adobe Digital Editions eBooks", then click on the green + to get "default_key". I had to follow the configuration steps, which are cryptic. The default key is found and stored in the preferences automatically. The directions say: "On Macintosh and Windows systems no customization is required for ebooks from Kindle for Mac/PC or Adobe Digital Editions (ADE), provided that calibre is run on the same computer and user account as the installation of Kindle for Mac/PC or ADE to which the books were downloaded.Note that Calibre has changed a bit since the directions were written so some interpretation may be needed.
Launch Calibre and then carefully follow the directions for installing DeDRM_plugin.zip into Calibre.ascm file in ADE, observe that an ePub file is now saved to Documents/Digital Editions.

I was able to remove the Adobe DRM and open it in iBooks on my iPhone. Today I purchased a genuine Google Play Adobe Editions DRMd book. So I could easily put the ePUBs in Google Drive, upload to Google Play and drop them into iTunes for use on my iPhone. (Bonus: Fixing Adobe Digital Edition crash.), but my efforts to put the books I own on my personal device were frustrated when it turned out all of my Google Play books were DRM free. I previously wrote EPUB and DeDRM: Why Google Play Store is the best eBookStore for iBooks fans.
