Digital Editions

It's Dec 2022, and in the battle between a Kobo Glo HD vs ADE 4.5.11, the Kobo loses. Same problem other people have had with transferring .ascm files to ADE then to Kobo Glo HD. Both ADE and Kobo have been de-authorized and re-authorized, problem files removed, new book downloaded... but when I try to open the book on the Kobo Glo, I get "Your eReader is not authorized to open this book... Because you previously deauthorized your eReader you need to re-import the book using ADE." So unhelpful. Old threads said to download ADE 3.0 instead, but Adobe has removed the download, at least for Mac (operating system is Sierra). Can't afford a new Kobo right now. Does anyone know where I could find the older version of ADE for Mac if not from Adobe? Thanks in advance!

I installed ADE without authorization and now I am trying to add authorization and now it is saying I need an id that was not previously used.  I am trying to download a book from my computer to my nook/

I bought an ebook legally. I have authorised ADE to open it., but I cannot open it. The message I get is that book is under copyright protection, authough I have authorized ADE for opening

It won't let me scroll past page 5 of any document I open. I need to study for the life in the UK test and the only way to access the docs is through this godforsaken programme. Is there a fix?

I can't seem to authorize my adobe ID on my android phone for adobe digital edition. And, I don't have an option to skip authorization either like my computer. Whenever, I put in my ID and password it doesn't recognize it. But, when I log into creative cloud it works just fine. However, the account I'm using is a school account so I don't know if that's why it isn't working. 

So, I seem to have the same issue as many others have had with Adobe Digital Edition, it stops working, with no true support or fix provided for by Adobe. I followed all the advice on this forum and elsewhere on the internet.1. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling ADE 4.5.11 - many times2. I renamed the folder to old3. In the end I decided to go with another advice and download and install ADE 3 (a nightmare to get by the way). This worked for several hours until my computer crashed and upon trying to reopen ADE3.0 once restarted it now has the same issue as 4.5.11.Please tell me there is some magical other way to get the purchased documents I have within ADE to be able to be viewed. This is now one of the worst products used on a computer I have ever seen, I will go out of my way to use Book Shelf or some other product even if it costs me more money on purchasing the textbook

Hi I've seen this is a general adobe problem, but all the complaints I've seen are from Kindles or computers, I have the app on my phone and can't even fine the option to open my acsm file on Ade, other epubs give me that option, but not this one. There isn't even an error message popping up anywhere, just a blank screen that close immediately every time I try to open the file 

I have a chromebook and installed the ADE app.  I'm trying to transfer a library book from ADE to my Kobo, but the instructions say to click on the devices tab in ADE to authorise it, but there isn't a devices tab at all, juste a library. There doesnt seem to be any place in ADE to add a device, or another version I can install on a chromebook. The computer does recognize the Kobo in it's files and it'S charging, and the books are in ADE and readable there, but I cant find a way to transfer them into the Kobo reader.  Help, please.

I cannot add. Acsm files to my adobe digital edition due to a server error I tried everything.I uninstalled everything and still it isn't working. I REALLY need it for work  

Hey Everyone,So I have a Kobo Aura H20. I take out ebooks from my local library and use Adobe Digital Edition. I've been trying to upload my book for 2 days now. It downloads perfectly I can see it in the Adobe program no problem. But once it's on my Kobo I can't open it at all. It says it needs to be authorized. I went to the programme and deauthorized and reauthorized and even went into my device setting and did the same for my Kobo. It says on my Kobo that it's still deauthorized. I'm out of options here. I have no clue what to do. Can anyone help?.Thx! 😃A

Hello community, can anyone offer a solution that solves the problems of Digital Editions when using OS 15.2 on the iPad Pro? The books do not open or only blank pages are shown.

I know this has been answered a couple of times; go chat with adobe and they can de-authorize and the link to do so. For the life of me, this link does not lead to any way for me to start a chat. I have this problem because I am constantly deleting the application and re-authorizing because I will download a book from the library and when I transfer the file onto my kobo, it says that I'm not authorized to read it, even though I've factory reset my kobo and the application. I've tried of multiple laptops and kobos, I regularly have this issue and it is insanely frustrating. Please if there is a way to actually speak to adobe support I need instructions on how to do so. Thank you!

Hello, I am very sorry to have to report that the Adobe Digital Editions application is not working properly. I have found it’s performance to be bad. Really bad, so bad in fact I’m at a loss as to how a business can allow this low level of delivery to manifest itself before us. I’ve paid for a book I am struggling to read because I’m obliged to read it only via this application which seems almost entirely useless. I’m not happy, not at all.  Running iPad Pro 3rd generation, iPad OS 15.7.1.  I want to complain, the service is extremely unsatisfactory and I am most disappointed.  I pay for an ebook I expect to be able to read it with ease. Unfortunately that is not the case because it’s only available to read via Adobe Digital Editions which renders the effort of trying to enjoy a novel so painful and protracted due to the application’s glitches and fails that I am having to stop trying now.  I want a refund for the books I’ve bough

When is the software being fixed?https://community.adobe.com/t5/digital-editions-discussions/adobe-digital-editions-4-5-11-constant-duplication-of-some-ebooks/m-p/13437922#M66004

Unable to download Error getting License. License Server Communication Problem: E_ACT_NOT_READY.  Cannot open ebooks on my Adobe DE.  How do I fix this?

I have two different Kobo libra2's registered under different library cards to the same library. About a week ago it suddenly became impossible to browse for and download library books. When I push the button in the lower left corner of the Home window a new window comes up that says only: 'please wait...' but then it never advances. This happened for both eReaders. When I check out the books on the computer and Sync the eReader it doesn't work either even though the WiFi works fine.  I then tried adding ADE to my computer and downloading with a hardwire connection but the most I accomplished was to be able to download the item to the eReader but then when I eject the eReader from the computer and try to open the book on the Kobo I get this message: Your eReader is not authorized to open this book. This book is protected by Adobe Digital Rights Management (DRM). Because you previously deauthorized your eReader, you need to reimport the book using Adobe Digital Editions (

Hallo,  ich habe mir online ein Buch ausgeliehen. Dieses kann ich auf meinem Mac auch öffnen. Wenn ich es aber mittels ADE auf meinen Tolino übertrage, kommt beim Öffnen folgende Fehlermeldung: E_ADEPT_CORE_DECRYPT_LICENSE_KEY (selbe Adobe ID auf beiden Geräten) würde mich über eure Hilfe sehr freuen 😊

I been using ADE on my Mac (Mojave) with no issues, but when I downloaded the app on my 10 GEN iPad it doesn't seem to work. I transferred the files from iTunes and recognized it in my iPad. When I attempted to opened the books on my pad it keeps telling to Deauthorize and logs me out. I log in and no problem is fixed. I reinstalled it and still having the same issues. I don't have an idea why it doesn't let me open it. 

Hi - i'm having issues downloading a epub to read on ADOBE Digital Editions.  To fix this, i am trying to erase the authorization and reset it.   However, i have no idea what to put in for the vndor ID.  Is this my library user ID?   Or something else.    Any advice would be appreciated.   

Bonjourj'ai change mon adresse mail dans mon compte ADE et sur ma liseuses KOBO mais mon autorisation DRM reste attachée à mon ancienne adresse mail. Je ne peux plus lire les livres sous protection DRM sur ma liseuse
