    A good new !!! I have just downloaded ADE 4.0 once again (3 times in 2 weeks), and miraculously I succeeded in reading the e-book on the Kobo Aura.

    I suppose that the first downloading was not correct?

    Be persevering.

    Good luck.

    I have exactly the same problem with my Kobo Aura and Adobe 4.0. The e-reader is authorised but when I disconnect it from my computer (MAC with OSX 10.9.5) I can not open the ebook. I get the following message: "Oups! Impossible to open the ebook. This ebook is protected by Adobe DRM and cannot be opened with your Adobe ID. You must connect with your authorized Adobe ID , and try again."

    I  also tried to use Adobe 3.0. It doesn't work and now I cannot get the book on my computer. The new error message is :

    E_ACT_NOT_READY

    Does Kobo Aura works only with Kobo e-books ???

    Me too. I've restored factory settings  of Kobo Glo, re-installed ADE's, reauthorised, tried different books. Ok when buying books but not when borrowing from a library. eBook loads fine onto computer from  the library but won't transfer to kobo. Looks like it works but we I go to open it (black square only) it says I don't have authorisation. Very very frustrating.

    Exact same problem. the books open up in Adobe on the pic but just unopenable black squares on the kobo.

    Downgrade Adobe Digital Editions to Version 3.0  You can download it directly from Adobe's site.  Version 4.0 appears to be incompatible with the Kobo.
