The update can't put a "digital editions folder" on your JBL. So it must have
been there prior to doing the update. You should clean out your internal
memory prior to doing this update, now that you are having this problem.
You can't have a fresh start at the process with existing ADE created files
and folders on your device.
All you need do is connect the USB cable, (with no SD card in your device)
and your PC should see your JBL as an external drive, with a drive letter.
When you open that drive letter in Windows Explorer you should see what is
on your JBL's internal memory. Right clicking on that drive letter should offer
a "Format" option, also note the "Properties" option.
**If you haven't already you should copy the internal memory to a folder
on your hard drive, as a backup.**
If you format that "drive letter" you are formatting your JBL's internal
memory. A quick format will clean out the memory. You can format the
internal memory as FAT (FAT16) or FAT32. It was FAT from the factory, but
FAT32 causes no problems. You may see exFAT format, or others, offered
I wouldn't use any of those with the internal memory.
As long as you have the drive/JBL connected this is a good time to run the
"Error-checking" (ChkDsk) routine. It can be found under the "Tools" tab of
the "Properties" option. You can check the options supplied, and it will likely
take longer than you would expect.
Now you should have a clean and healthy internal memory ready for your
update. There should be no reason for the 0.16e update to fail to add the
".adobe-digital-editions" folder to your JBL's internal memory.

Now my personal opinion is that, If you have to use ADE, don't have it
interact with your JBL directly at all. Don't have a ".adobe-digital-editions"
folder in the JBL's internal memory. Don't have any ADE created files or
folders in the JBL's internal memory.
If you already have your JBL authorized by ADE you can unauthorize it in
ADE. Then you can:
On your PC with an SD card in a reader connected to your PC:
Format the SD card (2GB or greater) to FAT32 then add just the following;
the ".adobe-digital-editions" folder (that you backed up to your PC's hard
drive after the 0.16e FW update) and an empty "Books" folder and an empty
"Pictures" folder. Then, with your JBL and it's USB cable hidden in your sock
drawer, insert the SD card you just made into the reader connected to your
PC, AFTER you have ADE up and running. ADE should now see your SD card
as a new JBL to be authorized. It will create the files and folders it needs on
the SD card and see the SD card as the place to put the ebooks it makes
readable on your JBL. It also creates a place in its "Library", on your PC, to
manage the ebooks that it places on your SD card.
So now whenever you plug your SD card/JBL into the reader connected to
your PC (and your real JBL and its cable are safely in your sock drawer) you
can drag&drop an ebook into your SD card/JBL section of ADE's Library and
a readable (on your JBL) copy will be added to the "digital editions" folder
now on your SD card.
Then you can take the SD card out of the reader connected to your PC and
retrieve your JBL from the sock drawer (Leave the cable behind).
Now when you insert the SD card, into your JBL, you should be able to find
and read your added ADE, DRM infected eBooks.
Luck;
