Question

ADE transfer to ByteBooks not working

Hello,

I want to transfer my ADE account to ByteBooks. However, when I try to create the ByteBooks account, it says there is no ADE account with that e-mail address. I have copied the e-mail address directly from my ADE, so there cannot be a spelling error (and I used my ADE credentials to log in here).

The customer support started out answering very quickly (and suggesting to recheck the e-mail address) but now they are ghosting me. I have not gotten any reply in over one week.

Anyone else have that problem? Any solutions?

Anyone else know how to get any response from ByteBooks?

    I contacted ByteBooks six times. I received one generic troubleshooting response that failed to address the actual problem, followed by complete silence. My subsequent follow-ups were simply ignored.

    I contacted Adobe twice to ask for help and escalation. I received no response whatsoever.

    The result? No solution, no meaningful support, and no accountability.

    Adobe transferred the management of its eBook platform to ByteBooks, yet when the migration process fails and users are unable to authorize a new device to access their existing DRM-protected eBooks, neither company appears willing to take responsibility and bothered to provide a meaningful response.

    This is an unacceptable way to treat customers who have legitimately purchased eBooks and depend on this infrastructure to access them.

    Adobe cannot simply transfer responsibility to another company and wash its hands of the consequences for affected users. And ByteBooks cannot reasonably be considered an adequate support provider when repeated requests for assistance go unanswered.

    The whole situation is shameful. It demonstrates a serious failure of customer support, accountability, and respect for users.

    Mistral me dit qu’il faut “demander une réinitialisation de la 2FA côté serveur (« MFA reset »).”. Le problème lorsqu’on cherche à le faire, c’est qu’il faut télécharger l’application Adobe Digital Edition sur son smartphone… mais play store m’indique que l’application est trop ancienne par rapport à mon téléphone. Je suppose qu’il s’agit d’une mauvaise traduction puisque mon téléphone a plus de 2 ans.

    En tous cas, personne n’a obtenu de réponse efficace jusqu’à présent !

    Same problem here. When I try to migrate the account to Bytebooks, I always get : USER_DOES_NOT_EXIST. The Adobe ID is correct, my old computer is still authorized with it. I contacted Wipro/Bytebooks support several times but after their initial generic troubleshooting reply, I have received no further response or even an acknowledgment. I’ve contacted the book shops and they don’t know how to help. Has anyone successfully resolved this migration problem or knows how to get it escalated ? Thanks

    Come hai sicuramente letto nei vari topic che qui si sono succeduti, è un problema comune a molti. Io ho il Kobo Clara ed è la stessa cosa. Purtroppo Adobe ha eliminato il software Digital Editions, trasmigrando (per modo di dire) il servizio alla società ByteBooks che dovrebbe (e il condizionale è d’obbligo) fornire il servizio a noi utenti. Questa società però, a parte avere un sito, non ha proceduto a creare un app o un qualcosa che ci permetta di trasmigrare i file acquistati - o presi in prestito nel mio caso - sul nostro lettore digitale Kobo. Tutta la comunità è molto arrabbiata, soprattutto perché pur chiedendo aiuto alle due società Adobe e ByteBooks, non si ottiene risposta. Aspettiamo “fiduciosi” tempi migliori… 🤔

    Same here. Tried to make an account as an ADE customer, but that came with an error. Adobe/ByteBooks does not know me as a customer. It is possible to make new account but I don’t want to loose my bought ebooks. It looks as if Adobe threw their customer data over the fence to Wipro. I hope someone there made a backup!

    Try contacting the original book shops and see if they can help you out. Apparently there’s something called a “fulfillment reset” where you will be able to activate the books again on the new account. That way, you can ignore the transfer and just start over, but reactivate all your old books. At least that’s how it worked out for me.

     

    Adobe on the other hand seems happy to just do nothing about all the lost books. Not that I’m surprised. It seems like it’s their intention to be as anti customer as they can be, at every turn.

    I have exactly the same problem.

     

    Did Adobe just nuke its old records by accident or something? What does that mean for the affected books? This is very concerning.

    So did Adobe basically steal all our books and is trying to get away with it? There still hasn’t been any response...

    I got this solved by contacting every book shop I ever bought from, and by listing every book affected by this manually. But this really shouldn’t be my job to do, and I guess if you ever bought from a book shop that’s now out of business, you might have no workaround. DRM sucks. And I wish Adobe did a better job if they have to do it.
