I cannot get the Digital Editions loaded on my PC to "see" my Playbook when it is attached so that I can download books from the library (it dos now show on the Bookshelf). PC says it is authorized.

Thank you, Cherry

    You've been caught up in the syndrome that, just because you're supposed

    to be able to read ebooks on your device, you assume that all you have to

    do is to hook it to your PC and you're good to go. There's some technology

    in the middle, and it's important because it makes everything work.

    ADE does not support your Blackberry. That's not going to change soon,

    either, unfortunately. Once you get your library ebook downloaded to your

    computer, you can't transfer it to your Blackberry.

    The Problem is another in my opinion.

    Facts:

    - Playbook can read DRM-eBooks with Kobo.

    - Kobo Desktop is a featured device on Windows, but I can't import there my books from ADE or send them from ADE to Kobo.

    - ADE supports the playbook not native

    I have to a) remove DRM and copy it on my playbook; or b) use another Reader (Android) to read DRM-protected ebooks. This not easy-way.

    Please tell us how we can send our bought ebooks from ADE to KoboDesktop. This would be the way Adobe says.
