Hello,

We've followed your instructions and deauthorized and then tried to get ADE to recognize computer and ereader. It will not. Please advise. H. Casser-Jayne

    I am having this same problem.  I have checked to make sure that I am sending ACSM files to ADE (not overdrive), and the problem continues.  I work at a public library, and one of our customers came in with this problem and I couldn't help her.  I spent an hour an a half trying ALL of the above solutions, with no luck.  I imagine that other users are having the same problem.  What do I tell my customers who are having this issue?

    One thing is to use the correct site.the tech from overdrive asked me to

    use toronto public library overdrive specifically not the overdrive

    app.this seems to have worked.

    I am having the same problem that just appeared.  After "borrowing" a book from the library, I can successfully download to my desktop (and read it) but once transferred to the Kobo it gets the message "eReader is not authorized...".  

    I have erased and re-authorized many times in different orders, trying to find a solution.  Nothing is working.  I have also reinstalled the ADE software, done a repair, factory reset the Kobo.

    Exactly my problem .i can download a book in overdrive.cant download to my

    kobo touch.i wondered if I authorized ADE without an adobe Id and this

    prevented downloading To my kobo touch. I can't reverse this however.

    Hi,

    Would you be able to share the error message you are getting while trying to authorize the eReader. It would be helpful if you could also provide some details about whether you face the same issue when you authorize ADE on your computer and the version of ADE you are using.

    Regards,

    Hello, There seems to be no problem opening the file on my computer. When I try to open it on Kobo I get "Your ereader is not authorized to open this book. As per your CSR's instructions, we deauthorized the computer in ADE, and followed reauthorization that said it would authorize all computers, which it did not.

    Hi,

    Are you seeing this error with all ebooks or with some specific ones?

    Please verify that the ereader and ADE are both signed in using the same account.
