I have some problems with my new Kobo reader. Several public librairies suggest to remove the latest version and install version 3.0. Where can I find the 3.0 release. I have looked everywhere and I am always redirected to the latest version.

This is old but for anyone reading, I followed the steps here and was able to fix my Library loans in my Kobo May 2023. I deauthorized/reauthorized/deleted/redownloaded using the latest version of ADE with no luck. After downloading ADE v 3.0, I erased my authorization on the computer and eReader and after re-authorizing everything was able to read my Library loan.

I'm having this same problem now with the most recent version of ADE, but cannot find version 3.0 anywhere. All the links in this article no longer have it. Do you have a valid link?

Try this link for Mac: https://adedownload.adobe.com/pub/adobe/digitaleditions/ADE_3.0_Installer.dmg

Just a heads up this download link works (thanks for posting it!) but the app won't work with Mac OS High Sierra 10.13.4 or later.

I jusst upgraded from a laptop using Windows 10 and ADE 3.0 to a desktop also using Windows 10 and I tried ADE 4.5 for several days with no luck. Yesterday I found a list of Adobe apps in red ink. At the very end was a reference to ADE 3.0 with dire warnings against installing it. I installed it anyway and the first time I tried to use it I got an authorization error. I searched the error and found an article with a fix that involved a couple of adjustments to the register which I made using regedit. From start to finish, I spent a half hour and everything seems to be working perfectly. Today I went looking for the list that I started with yesterday. I haven't been able to find it - yet. If one can find the url for the list, a half hour may see ADE 3.0 installed and running. Who knows?

I believe this is the article you were referencing? The registry edit solved my problem, so thanks for the tip!!!! https://www.repairwin.com/fix-error-check-activation-in-adobe-digital-editions/

I found version 3.0. did everything needed but it will not download the needed Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 Service Pack 1 so back to the beginning once again.

This all started when I opened a library book which I have done numerous times before. The need edition is not very good.

Just over it for now.

I know you posted this last year, but i was just having this same issue and saw your dilema, in case you haven't got a solution.

I also borrow from the library and this time for some reason I was having issues with Digital Editions 4.5 when transferring to my e-reader. I had no problem using an older Windows 7 computer with 3.0 version so I tried to get 3.0 for my Windows 10 computer and ran into the same issue about Framework. If you're using Windows 10 it appears it IS already installed, just not turned on.(or try it with other versions in case) I followed these directions just now and installed 3.0 for when library books just don't want to cooperate with the 4.5 version.

Enable the .NET Framework 3.5 in Control Panel

Press the Windows key Windows on your keyboard, type "Windows Features", and press Enter. The Turn Windows features on or off dialog box appears.
Select the .NET Framework 3.5 (includes .NET 2.0 and 3.0) check box, select OK, and reboot your computer if prompted.

This issue is not resolved yet: I have the same problem with the downolad link.

If you start on the official page:

Adobe Digital Editions | Download

Then click on the link for 3.0:

Adobe Digital Editions downloads

And scroll at the bottom for the actual link for 3.0 for Mac, you got this error:

Not Found

The requested URL /pub/adobe/digitaleditions/ADE_3.0_Installer.dmg was not found on this server.

Thank you!

I am also having this problem and I cannot find a reference to adobe digital editions 3.0 anywhere on the Adobe Site that actually opens to the actual download. When I click on any mention of adobe digital editions 3.0 it returns with download details for the latest version - & scrolling down below the the latest edition 3.0 appears to be clicked on & that takes me to a list of all the products that DOES NOT include adobe digital editions 3.0!

Nanaky's reply " you must used the Download for 3.0 of the link" would be great if only I could locate that link!

An answer resolving this problem is needed for me to be able to borrow books from my library.

Thanks in advance.
