    I had this problem - I had an old version of ADE installed, so I stupidly downloaded the latest (ver 4.0)  and kept seeing the E_AUTH_NOT_READY.

    When I tried to deauthorize, I would get the same error.  Uninstalling and reinstalling the application did not work.

    I finally noticed that all instructions referred to ADE version 2.0

    I downloaded that version, problem solved.

    Shame on you Adobe.

    I am getting the very same error message. I have never had a problem until two days ago. It is frustrating and I have not been able to find a solution. I even reinstalled Digital editions to see if that would work.

    Figured it out!  You have to de-authorize the new version first.  Apparently an old authorization carries over but does not show up.  Open ADE, hit Control+Shift+D to de-authorize, then authorize from the help menu.  If you have any questions, just type the error message into the Google search bar and complete instructions will come up.

    Same problem.  My nook software was updated, the ADE no longer worked, I was told by B&N to download ADE2.0, I did that and now cannot authorize ADE.  I'm very frustrated and would greatly apprciate some help
