Just bought EBook and downloaded ADE.  Now what do I do?   Am not at techno whiz.  How do I get the book from the publisher to the ADE.  When I enter the ADE program, nearly entirely black screen and no button responds.  Thanks.

    When I downloaded my first book from my library website it showed up in my ADE, I then plugged my Nook into my computer and then opened up my computer and clicked on removable file F which is where your nook or ereader it plugged into your computer at. I then went back to ADE and dragged the book in my nook, then unplugged my nook and found the book in my library under my files. I hope that helps! Its all so confusing!

    What do you mean "it showed up in ADE"?  My library book showed up as a download in my computer, but had only 2 kb.  It is not there.  ADE will not activate in my computer.

    I'm not sure WHERE on your computer you see the downloaded library book.

    So, let me presume a couple of things here, and try to give you an answer.

    First, I presume you're operating a Windows PC. Next, I'll 'assume' (you

    know what THAT means!) that you can use the Windows Explorer utility to find

    files. Let's start there.

    First, find the library book on your computer's hard drive with Windows

    Explorer, and make a note of the folder it's in.

    Next, open ADE and get to Library view, where you can see the avatars of the

    ebooks you have in it in the right hand panel. Now, get the drop-down list

    from the Library tab (next to the word 'Library' on the left hand top side

    of the display panel) and click on the 'Add Item' tab. This will take you

    to a screen that will let you browse for the location of the ebook (or

    document) you want to add to the Library. Click on the title, and ADE will

    import it, and show it on the right hand of the Library panel display. BTW:

    ebooks don't take up a lot of storage, so 2kb isn't necessarily the wrong

    size for the file.

    Once the ebook is added to your library, you can copy it onto your ereader

    by dragging and dropping it on the left hand panel. I will 'assume'

    (there's that word again!) that you understand the process of hooking up

    your ereader and then opening ADE so that ADE will recognize the ereader.

    It's just a sequence you have to follow due to the technology we use these

    days.

    Hope this helps!
