Question

Error- Check Activation

This is what I am getting every time I try to down load a book from a public library to my E-Reader.  I am unable to erase authorization as the area is greyed out and the control shift D does nothing. I am working from Windows 10 but this was also happening when I had Windows 7

What should I do to resolve this?
