Well, I would start over. Remove ADE from your PC and Move all the contents of the JBL
Internal user memory to a folder on your hard drive. You could format the internal
memory and run ChkDsk on it, as long as you have it connected.

Then just redo the upgrade to 0.16e, it will add the ".adobe-digital-editions" folder with
just the "device.xml" file. Then you would have to reinstall ADE on your PC and authorize
it. This should leave you with the right conditions for ADE to see the
".adobe-digital-editions" folder with only the "device.xml" file and that should trigger it to
offer the authorization of the device (your JBL).

OR- you could Format a SD card to FAT32 (insuring that it is blank/has no hidden files)
then copy the ".adobe-digital-editions" folder (after removing everything except the
"device.xml" file) from the folder where you copied or moved the post 0.16e update
contents of your JBL's internal user's memory, to the SD card. Then add empty "Books"
and "Pictures" folders to the SD card.

With ADE up and running, inserting the SD card into your PC's card reader should have
ADE offer to authorize that device (the SD card that it sees as a JBL).

If it is not offering to authorize any device, it would be because it thinks it has already
asked and you said no, or it thinks it has already authorized the device, or it doesn't
see the "device.xml" file and other indications that there is a device to be authorized.
Hopefully, reinstalling ADE will make it look at things without any preconceived ideas.

Luck;
Ken
