Here is another pointer w/re to ADE and the JB. I installed .35a and was able to access all ADE compliant DRM e-books that I either purchased or downloaded from my local Library.

The pointer is this - make a backup of the .adobe.... folder that gets installed on your JB and especially after you authorize the JB with the ADE-PC software. I am not referring to the "Digital Editions" folder.

Why you ask? If you do a "Restore Default" whether you own the JB or the ALP you will lose the content of the folder. With the ALP you just have to waste another "Authorize Device" (you are limited to only so many). With the JB you have to re-install your .35? firmware because the JB will not be recognized by the ADE-PC software unless you copy back your "Back-up copy"

If you keep a copy of your ".adobe..." folder found on your device's internal memory (whether JB or ALP) you will not have to waste another "Authorize device - life". Just copy it back when it is screwed. Don't forget this ADE-PC is tied into your Adobe account that you created when you installed the ADE-PC software. It as well may have only so many installs before you are stopped. You cold always create a new account for the ADE software but then all your older e-books would be restricted from being read with the new account.

Make sure you label your back-up folder for each device so that it reflect device and date as the folder being copied is named the same for both.

The date may come in handy in the event there are software updates with adobe - never overlay your backup just place in a folder labeled as the date taken. Just some tips. Of course you can do whatever you want.
