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.

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.
