I'm not able to authorize my computer after installing Adobe Digital Edition and activating Adobe ID:

I receive the following prompt: E_AUTH_NO_READY.

I tried for few days

Can anyone help me?  Many thanks.

    I have a similar problem.  I have an old Kobo reader that I had been using and now have a new Kobo Auro H20.  I have adobe all set-up on my computer but when I plug in my new reader and connect nothing happens.  I went to Adobe and CTLSHIFTD and the message came up 'erase computer authorization' so I didn't do it.  Am I having this problem as it is looking for my old Kobo and how do I correct it?  Thanks.

    I am having a similar issue.  I have downloaded the new Adobe Digital Editions, I do Control Shift D and get the message to de authorize by logging in, but it does not recognize my password.   How do I reset my password to get this thing to work.......5 hours working on this.  It is ridiculous!!!! Not even a button to say "I forgot my password"   Somebody, anybody help? BTW, I haven't forgotten my password, Adobe isn't recognizing it!

    Thanks!

    I've just spent a whole evening trying to authorise a sony reader on an apple mac. Everything worked last week using windows, tonight I just got the 'e-auth' msg all the time. Changed adobe password through book store site without result. Went to adobe's own website, changed password - worked, authorised mac straight way, downloads worked. Weird.

    OK, so I've had the same issue with my Nook (simple touch).  I tried the ctrl-shift-D, which allowed me to authorize both devices, but I still can't read library books on the Nook - says "user not activated".  Any ideas on what could be going wrong, and how to fix it?  I'm using ADE 2.0 (maybe a bad mistake), and this is driving me nuts!

    Figured it out - needed to delete a file on the Nook (adobe_digital_editions). Why did this have to be so complicated?

    I'm getting the same error message as you.  my e-reader is recognized but the computer is not authorized.  I tried CLICKING HELP but I get as far as the activation server error that you mention.  It will retry  but I keep getting the error message E_AUTH_NO_READY.

    Oops!  Sorry, I should have tried the CTRL+SHIFT+D.  It does work.

    I have a similar problem. ADE doesn't recognize my e-reader (Leqtor = EB600 Netronix) and then I can't authorize this device for my ID Adobe Account. At last, it means I can't read the book with DRM I have bought, and I get the error "Please activate device first".
