Thanks to both repliers.

I'm not sure what specifically is required to get this to work on the DR800SG, but here's what I did.

I deleted the ".adobe-digital-editions" folder on the SD card of my DR and removed the line in the /system/dr.ini file pertaining to my adobe username. Then I made sure the DR was mounted before I started ADE (wine or in XP both worked). Once started ADE asked if I wanted to activate the device. After that I could move the books to the DR with ADE and read them on the DR.

I really appreciate the helping hand, thanks again.

(I still wonder why it all has to be done with Windows software however. The DR used to be able to handle this on it's own when it had a network connection using the linux software that it has. And I'd much rather use linux software.)
