Have downloaded Adobe Digital Editions to use with my Kobo. I could authorize my computer but when I click on the gear icon and the choices come up to authourize my kobo it does not work. How do I authorize my Kob so I can borrow books form my public library?

    I have the exact same problem. But I  also can't authorize my computer. The message I receive says:

    Activation server error. Code: E_AUTH_NOT_READY

    Digital Editions encountered an error on the activation server.
