Unable to read library borrowed e-book on my KOBO.

Used to be a walk in the park, right now it's suddenly a nightmare. I'm guessing (?) due to their authorization that seems to defy logic. I got the book from the library into DE (btw - tried both DE versions 3 and 4 and 2 of my home computers). I could read it on a computer screen but cannot read it on my KOBO (which was the whole purpose of borrowing and e-book in the first place). Wasted an awful lot of time on it already. Does anyone have any ideas?

      Same trouble over here: some DRM-protected books from the Library work and some simply don't, that is to say: ADE 4 keeps crashing when adding them to the ADE library. I use macOS Sierra, ADE 4, Kobo reader. No matter whatever you try: ADE keeps crashing.

      Buggy software, Adobe? Or is DRM-protected ePub a buggy and therefore useless technique, doomed to perish? My opinion: DRM-protected ePub's suck!

      Is there anybody here from Adobe, who can react/shine a light on the matter?

        Aha! A new version of ADE is available: 4.5. After installing the new version, some DRM-protected ePubs do not cause ADE to crash, can be read in the app AND can be uploaded to a KOBO device! Great.
