OK; The basic Idea is that the ADE program seems to see any FAT file structure partition
(that your OS finds) with a hidden ".adobe-digital-editions" folder, in its root, and containing just a "device.xml" file; as a device that it can "Authorize". An SD card in a
USB Media Reader formatted to FAT16 or FAT32, will be assumed to be the device
described in the "device.xml" file, as far as ADE is concerned.
So, if you were to connect your jetBook to your PC and find the new drive letter your OS made for it, you can copy all the existing files into a folder on your PC's hard drive.
(This provides a backup so you can return your jetBook to the condition it is now.)
Once that is done you can reformat your jetBook's internal (with the ChkDsk/Fix options
checked and to FAT32). You should now have a clean and well structured internal memory. You need to have a "Books" and a "Pictures" folder on the "Root" of the internal
memory. (They can be empty folders.) You can copy back as much or as little of the
original contents as you want, otherwise. ( Having some extra room in the internal
memory can't hurt, in my opinion.) DO NOT copy back any "Digital Editions" folder, or any
hidden Adobe files or folders.
Make sure you have a fresh set of batteries in your JBL then:
First if you only have one SD card then you will want to back it up to a folder on your
PC's hard drive. Format an SD card for use during the update of the firmware. (I still use
FAT16 for this although I understand that FAT32 works as well.) The formatting will
insure a clean card and root directory into which the three update folders go.
You now want to update your jetBook to a Firmware that adds the ADE support to the
jetBook (I think it was the 35m for the regular jetBook, for the jetBook Lite it was 0.16e)
This firmware update will install the hidden ".adobe-digital-editions" folder with the
"device.xml" file onto your jetBook's internal memory. (We will then be able to extract
that folder and use it to make our "ADE Authorized SD Cards", that ADE thinks are your
jetBook.) You can remove the hidden folder, if you wish, later in the process.
Once you have finished the update, make sure ADE is NOT running on your PC and connect the jetBook so that you can make a folder that is a copy of how your internal
memory is right after the update. It should include the hidden folder we need to make
the "ADE Authorized SD Cards".
Now you should have the file and folder you need to make an SD card that, to ADE will
appear as the device described in the "device.xml" file and tell it to create ebook files
able to play in that device. ADE should create a "Digital Editions" folder with a
"manifest.xml" file and some subfolders on the SD card "device".
So now just format an SD card to FAT32 and copy just that hidden folder onto it.
Then with nothing but your SD card reader attached to your PC (NO jetBook) and ADE
now running you can insert the SD card (or SD card in the USB SD card reader, if that is
what you are using). ADE should notice that there is a new device for it to "Authorize",
(your SD card) and do its thing.
Luck;
