After 20 minutes on hold with Adobe, they told me that ADE is free. I should just use the online FAQ to get my answer. I thought I needed to reset my ADE. However, Adobe says that I downloaded correctly and it was Aluratek's problem. I needed to contact them directly.

I tried many times all afternoon to contact Aluratek. I had "System full. Please call back later." several times. I finally got through at the end of the afternoon. My wait time said 11 minutes, 6 minutes & 1 minute several times. I waited 38 minutes for Aluratek to tell me "O, just get a paperclip and reset your Libre. Then reconnect to ADE." I saw the "Authorized" which my brother told me he did "authorize" my Libre. So I reauthorized. Everything is fine now.

We talked about the color Libre for a little bit. He could not really talk about DRMs but he said that as long as I save books on to an SD card and NEVER have the SD card exposed to ADE, all books are safe. I asked him about the internal clock for the color and he could only repeat that SD cards should not be exposed to ADE.

If I have my SD card on my SD reader connected to my laptop and I open an epub file that launches ADE, then would that mean I exposed it to ADE? Will that borrowed Library book go away after the expiration date?
