Using Adobe Digital Editions to read library books on KoboGlo

I installed Adobe Digital Editions and downloaded a library book to my KoboGlo but it says I can't read it because I am not authorized by Adobe Digital Editions. I have tried numerous times to figure out how I can become authorized but with no luck. Any suggestions?

    You are more helpful that Adobe. They won't provide "chat support" for ADE.

    I have authorized my computer.

    I cannot find Devices nor a gear icon.
