Question

How to make ADE see my Sony Reader?

Hello,

I have installed Adobe Digital Editions 1.7.2 on a Mac and I have authorized my computer. I borrowed two DRM managed ebooks from our library, after download they showed up in ADE and they are readable.

Now, when I plug in my Sony Reader it isn't seen by ADE. Neither plugging it in _before_ nor _after_ starting up ADE does change anything. It just doesn't show up in the "Bookshelves" section of ADE as it is described here http://www.adobe.com/products/digitaleditions/help/#transfer_supported_reader

Any idea? Thanks a lot!

    I also have a Sony ereader, seems you have followed correct steps

    1. register ADE

    2. register Sony ereader and authorise computer

    Did you set up your Sony library ? as this is what I use for my books, not the ADE library.

    You can use either library (or should be able to)

    Yes, I have setup Reader Library and registered my Sony Reader.

    My computer and the reader show up as authorized in my Sony account.

    But you cannot transfer books from Adobe Digital Editions (when the

    reader does not show up in ADE) to the Reader Library. And ADE

    unfortunately is the only way I can borrow DRM-protected books from

    our library...
