    Is this downloading from ADE (Digital Editions) to the kobo,

    or direct from some vendor/lender to the kobo?

    If it is the first, please give more details.

    If it is the second you had better ask on a Kobo forum.

    Eventually (and thanks to some trouble-shooting directions posted at ) we went to the app menu within Overdirve and opted to de-authorize the app, and then re-authorized it. That worked.

    Apparently the problem was that the re-installed app "knew" that it had been authorized, but the authorization file was missing. Deauthorizing and then reauthorizing recreated the file, and all is well.

    I have certainly seen similar with ADE (digital editions) where it gets screwed up authorization and needs deauthorize/reauthorize.

    Quite a lot of people have authorization problems with the overdrive app.

    The Bluefire app seems much more reliable; try installing that and seeing if it helps.

    It may be slightly more awkward to use than Overdrive for library books; you may have to download and open separately rather than as a single step.

    It will also read any other Adobe DRM books.
