DR800 DR800 and Adobe Digital Editions

Mytogen · 10-16-2010, 04:04 PM

I just bought some ebooks in the Adobe Digital Editions PDF format. Since they were pdfs and my DR800 said it had an Adobe Reader registration ID i figured i would be good to go. However whenever i try to start Digital Editions while my DR800 is connected to my PC Digital Editions crashes without explanation. It managed to stay connected long enough to detect and activate my DR800, but I cannot copy any books over. Has anybody had any experience with anything like this?

Thanks in advance,

I had some problems with ADE on the Mac and my DR800 too. It wasn't crashing but ADE didn't recognize the DR800s. For me the solution was FIRST to open ADE and afterwards to connect the DR800s. Maybe it's worth a try...

ADE stayed on slightly longer that way, but still not long enough to transfer a book. But thanks for the advice.

Maybe you try calibre to see if that would see you device.

Calibre sees my DR800 just fine, but Calibre can't handle the DRM which is on the Adobe Digital PDFs I have

At least I don't know how to make it do that.

I'm not an ADE expert or iRex user, but I think if your device is registered with ADE, you don't need to have ADE connected to the device to transfer the pdf.

You should be able to:

download the book thru ADE
exit ADE
start Calibre
load the PDF into calibre
transfer the book to the device using Calibre

This should work (I think); Calibre can be used to "manage" the book, it just can't modify or view the PDF.

Good luck, and I may be wrong.

Sounds about right. Maybe creating a subfolde in books called ade and copying downloaded books to that would als work. You would not be running the risk that calibre modifies the pdf/ebub/whatever then.
