Question

I installed Adobe Digital Editions on my PC on the instructions of my library when I wanted to borrow an ebook, and authorized it with my Adobe ID.  Becuase I want to read the book on my tablet, I then connected my tablet (a Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1, model GT-P5110) and launched ADE as the instructions for transferring an ebook to ereader specify (see Transfer eBook to eReader | Adobe Digital Editions) but ADE is not recognizing my device, even though the computer itself is recognizing it.  I've tried several times with the same results each time and I am getting pretty sick of having my time wasted.  Help please!

    I am already on ADE 3 and am having the same problem. Maybe someone from ADE should read these forums and give us an answer!!!!!!

    FYI, I have ADE version 4 and can't get my ADE to recognize my Nook reader.  My mother, OTOH, has ADE version 3 on her computer, and just now her ADE did recognize her Nook.  The library book she downloaded this evening has now been transferred to her Nook.

    My conclusion:  if your troublesome ADE is version 4, perhaps you could try uninstalling that version, put on version 3, and see if that version will recognize your device.

    Just out of curiosity, what version of Adobe Digital Editions do you have on your computer?

    I've been having the same problem, only in my case the device my ADE isn't recognizing is my Nook reader.  What to do?
