No permission to copy book.

I finally got through to the Nook help desk through chatting and they gave me the following instructions.  Hope it works as well for you as it did for me!  I failed to ask why, all of a sudden, I was getting this prompt, though, so I have no explanation....sorry.

So Adobe.... this question has been brewing since Jan 1st.  What is the answer?  I am having the same problem.

I downloaded something in January from our local library to my Simple Touch Nook with my usual "no problems" but now I'm getting that same message other people are mentioning, i.e.,  "CE_COPY_NOT_ALLOWED - No permission to copy book"  Something must have just been put in place to throw so many people off.  HELP!!!

I am having the same problem trying to transfer books to a Kobo Touch. Has anybody come up with an answer?

I am having the same problem CE_COPY_NOT_ALLOWED - No permission to copy the book. I was able to download to ADE but not to the Nook (simple touch).

Im getting same issue...have new computer...and cant download to my nook from my library account...says not authorized to copy...have you had any luck in getting the problem solved
