I have bought a book and have managed to save it onto ADE, however, It won't allow me to 'drag' it into my e-reader - a box appears saying "Unable to copy - No permission to copy document here".

Any suggestions?

    I also downloaded a book onto my cybook opus ereader, but every time I want to open it, my ereader goes back to the starting screen. I already tried deautorization.

    You bought an ebook that has digital rights permissions set to prohibit

    copying to another device.

    You can check this. Open ADE and, in Library view, put your cursor on the

    little arrow next to the ebook's name. A drop-down box will appear. Click

    on 'Item Information'. A screen will open showing you several parameters

    associated with the ebook. The copy and print permissions are in the

    middle.

    There's not much you can do about this. Publishers, distributors,

    libraries and authors can set the digital rights. All ADE does is read

    them and then act on them.

    You could try going back to the seller and discussing this with them.

    Thanks so much!

    it says:

    Allow Viewing: on any device

    Allow Copying: not allowed

    Allow printing: not allowed

    Does this mean I can't put it on my E-reader?

    That's correct. The digital rights for the ebook will not let you copy the

    ebook to your ereader.

    Not entirely right I think. When you autorized your ereader you should be able to drag it to there. There is a maximum of 6 books or devices which can be attached to this noce program
