After disconnecting the usb the Overdrive book opened fine on the JBL. I still don't know how the JBL got authorized unless the ADE does that automatically from the computer memory. Anyway, it works now and that's what counts. Thanks for the ideas and help!
Glad it's now working for you. The most likely cause is what I bolded out of your statement. For a library book you must copy the file using ADE and not through the file system.

In general uninstalling ADE is a placebo troubleshooting step. Uninstalling ADE only deletes the executable (and on Windows removes the install/uninstall line in the registry). All of the interesting bits - the activation, the library manifest, the books, etc.. are not removed or changed during uninstall - and will not be changed if present during the install.
