    Hello,

    You will find all your books in "My Digital Editions" folder

    Take backup of the "My Digital Editions" folder in "C:\Users\<USERNAME>\Documents\" (for Windows) or "\Documents\" (for Mac) [on your old machine]

    Install ADE on your new machine.

    By default "My Digital Editions" folder will be created in  "C:\Users\<USERNAME>\Documents\" (for Windows) or "\Documents\" (for Mac)

    Transfer all the content of existing "My DIgital Editions" to new "My Digital Editions"

    Launch ADE

    All your books will be added.

    Sorry, but I can't follow this at all. I use a Mac.

    What does "take backup" mean and how do you do that?

    I already have ADE on my new Mac. And it has a Digital Editions folder (which has no editions in it).

    How will a new "Digital Editions" folder be created, and where?

    The crucial question: *How* does one "transfer the contents" of the old Digital editions folder on the old computer to the Digital Editions folder in the new computer?
