CE_COPY_NOT_ALLOWED

What I did to resolve this issue is:

1. Crated a second ADE account
2. Open ADE and under 'Devices' find your reader and from the upper right corner  select “Authorize Device ”
3. Use the second ADE account
4. Copy the book

Can you open the file in Adobe Digital Editions and go to File > Item Info and check what the file says for "viewing" and "copying" under permissions?

These all sound like DRM issues, based on what I've seen. Most public library loans do not allow you to read ebook files on multiple devices unless you get them from a special service like Freeding because of publisher required DRM encoding (which frustrates librarians just as much as it frustrates you.) For example, I can borrow an ebook from my public library, read it on my Mac in Adobe Digital Editions, but I can't put it on my Kindle e-ink reader because the DRM will not allow me to change it's format. When you try to copy a file from A.D.E. to a device it will often try to convert the file to a format that is compatible with the device, an action that is typically prevented by DRM encoding.

That said, if you get ebooks from the public library using a service called Freeding (something that not all libraries provide, but many do) there is no DRM on the ebooks so they can be transferred to a device for easier reading. If you get a typical library loan and select Adobe Digital Editions you will likely only be able to read it on that computer unless you have a device that has either the Digital Editions software or app installed.

I downloaded an ebook from library and can read on computer ok but get this copy not allowed-no permission to copy the book when I try to put it on my Libre eBook reader...help please?

Hey Rob. I'm having the same problem as you with my NOOK. Were you able to figure it out?

How are you attempting to copy the book? Is it through a USB transfer, or through the software (ADE or Kobo) itself?
