    Correct answer Nanaky

    I had authorized it before attempting the download. Today I borrowed another book from the library and it transferred to Digital Editions without a problem. Then I tried the original library book that I had not been able to transfer yesterday and it too transferred with out a problem. So it seems to be working today even though it was not working yesterday.

    Thank you for your assistance.

    Have you authorize Digital Edition before you Download? Can you download a other eBook?
