I downloaded a book fromk my local library onto my PC. I then sent it to my new Kobo Touch e-reader, The book appears but with the message: This document is protected by DRM and is not currently authorised for use with your Adobe ID. Please sign in with the authorised Adobe ID. I checked my PC and it says that Adobe is authorised. What do I need to do to be able to read the book, please? Tony.
