[steph-liverpool]

Hi my husband has bought me a prs-600 which is about to be launch through the window - i can not get it to work!!!

After many goes i have downloaded the elibary but now it will not let me down load the book onto it !!

I have also put on the computor adobe digital and the books are in there but the message i am getting is " No permission to copy document here" what have i done wrong ???

On elibary its saying "this book cannot be transferred because there is no licence to view on this device or its authorised to another user "

Please can somebody help this woman who feels like shes going mad

thanks

Have you "authorised" your PC and your Reader in Adobe Digital Editions?

Connect your reader to the computer. Open the Sony software. Click on the Ebookstore option then navigate to "manage my account." You should be able to authorise your device and your computer there.

Incidentally, I'll move this thread to the Sony newer devices section of the forum because it's slightly misplaced here.

Please do correct me if I'm wrong, but I think you only get that with the US version of the eBook Library software, not the UK version. The UK version just has links to Waterstones and W.H.Smiths.

Sorry: you're right, Harry. I'm running the US software and got confused.

Try closing the library and reopening it (if you have already gotten the email saying Sony has given you an Adobe account).

Sorry, folks, the process works differently outside the US - you're just confusing the poor woman .

What you have to do is:

1. Download and install the Sony eBook Library software.

2. Download and install the Adobe Digital Editions (ADE) software.

3. Run ADE. It will ask you if you want to create an account and authorise your PC. Say "yes" and go through the procedure it guides you through.

4. Plug in your Sony Reader, then re-run ADE. It will say something like "a mobile device has been detected - do you want to authorise it?". Say "Yes".

Now, you can go to any eBook store that sells ePub books - eg Waterstones, for example, You don't need to use the Sony eBook library software for this - just use your web browser. When you buy a book, the eBook store will e-mail you a download link. This link will make ADE download the book. Once ADE has downloaded it, you can copy it to your Reader from within ADE. No need to use the Sony software at all in any of this.

Hope that helps.
