DRM authorization issue with eReader

Hello,

I am trying to download a book from my local library (in an EPUB format) using Adobe Digital Editions. The eBook opens correctly on my computer, but when I try to copy it over to my eReader, I get the following error:

"This document is protected by Adobe Digital Rights Management (DRM) and is not currently authorized for use with your Adobe ID. Please sign-in with the authorized Adobe Id and try again."

However, I have checked and the eBook is authorized under the same id as my device (I checked the authorization code). Do you have ideas about why that might be?

I have tried re-setting my eReader to factory settings, but that has not fixed the issue.

Thank you,

Did you ever get this solved?  I am having the same problem, but only with certain books.  I have had no luck getting help from Kobo or Adobe on this.

Hi Keeley...yes, I did get it solved finally, with the help of a wonderful

girl from Kobo. Busy right now, but will send you the instructions this

evening, that worked for me. Do you have a Kobo ereader? Mine is a Sony,

but I would think it would work the same with both. Will email you tonight.
