I am having a number of problems with Digital Editions, and I have tried the chat options numerous times but no one seems to be able to help me. I cannot express how disappointed I am with Adobe. I have an ebook that I paid a lot of money for and I need to access it for work, but when I try to download the e-book I get the error message E_ACT_NOT_READY. The forums say I need to deauthorise my account, but when I try to erase authorization I get the message "Unable to erase authorization. Please try after some time." This has been happening for weeks. For 2 weeks I have been trying to solve this problem. Can somebody please help me or give me a phone number to call to reach adobe? I am desperate at this point.
