transfeering to Kobo

I am having difficulty transferring a book from my pc to my Kobo. A Kobo online chat did not solve the problem. He suggested that I come here. The Adobe Digital Editon is authorized. My Kobo was set to 'Manage Library' but nothing happened.

    Ah, but is your Kobo reader activated with Kobo's website? That's the first

    thing.

    You didn't say what the 'problem' was, so my response might cover some

    ground you have been over before....

    Once your Kobo ereader is activated with Kobo's website, you can plug it

    into your computer as a USB drive. When your computer recognizes it and

    assigns it a drive letter, then start ADE. When ADE comes up, it will

    recognize your Kobo ereader, and it should show your Kobo ereader in the

    left hand panel of its Library view. It's simple after that: drag and drop

    the book from the right hand library onto your Kobo.

    After you've loaded your Kobo up, you need to close ADE, and eject the Kobo

    ereader from yor computer. Leave the Kobo plugged in until it tells you

    it's finished updating itself with the new content. Then you can pull the

    plug and you're set to read.

    There are some catches. The books you're downloading will have certain

    permissions granted by the publisher. If you get an error message during

    your drag and drop that tells you you can't do that, it may be that the

    publisher has not authorized copying it to an ereader. That's the main

    one. Others might crop up during the linkup and relate to the way the Kobo

    is authorized. If that happens, come back here and search the Forum for

    those particular error messages.

    Hopefully, it will be straightforward and no problems.

    Hope this helps!
