Working on unlocking VBK for fair use

Im working on figuring out coursesmart vbk ebook format, looks like a chm file when you open it with their reader.

I have done some poking around in the file and see what looks like pdf components along with jpeg images, the rest
seems to be encrypted.

I was able to pull this out of the file when I opened it with a hex editor that looks like an interesting start:

<header format="picturebook" version="1" built="Wed, 16 Jul 2008 02:35:45 GMT"><filemap p="184620267" s="245760" u="243721" c="4096" f="aes"/><sanity p="184866027" s="64" u="64" c="64" f="aes" hash="39159AFC221974E386B2CBD0256A73EB8EA1EB67CF6BB11CE17A29CB4C675896"/><metadata><cover s="19300" p="0" t="image/jpeg" w="210" h="265" picfile="Cover.jpg"/><cover_t s="14727" p="19300" t="image/jpeg" w="158" h="200" picfile="Cover_t.jpg"/><bookInfo isbn="PBK9780716775508" author_last_name="" title="Modern Physics, 5th Edition" picture_book="true" author="" author_first_name="" sort="Modern Physics" drm="0"/><xmlInfo version="P2BS-11" dateTime="2008-07-16_02.31.47"/></metadata></header>

Any other pointer as what else needs to be done? I was thinking about capturing logs with wireshark, but if its
encrypted its useless.
