- First I had to install Kobe Desktop and synch and update the Glo
- Then I had to install Adobe Digital Editions (ADE) - Google for it.
- Then I had to login in to my Adobe ID. I had an Adobe ID already so I just used it.
- Then I had to Authorize my computer in ADE
- Then I had to Authorise my Glo in ADE
- Then I had to load my Epub in ADE
- Finally I used ADE to load the Epub to my Glo

Of course, now that all this is setup, it should be much more straightforward.

Hope this helps anybody else doing this for the first time.
Yep, and they wonder why people get confused. My wife just cannot understand all this merry-go-round. Most of it is because of DRM of course - not Kobo's fault - but the consumer doesn't, nor should they have to, make that distinction.

Before someone says -just stick to Kobo's desktop and their store - remember, many of us want to use local libraries, and we HAVE to use Adobe DE and their DRM for that.
