I'm back.

The device shipping with amazing speed, and I have it in hand. Everything went amazingly smoothly, and I am grateful. I had an autofill version of my email address that was wrong -- and that's the one that autofilled when I placed my order using my iPhone. So much for that!

Now I have a question about ADE that I've not been able to find an answer to.

I followed the directions given to authorize the device with my ADE account -- my Kobo appeared in the ADE application's sidebar, so I dragged & dropped my library to the device. The books appear to be loaded and my wifi is activated. But I can't open the books. In my reader's settings, the name of my ADE account shows, and the only option I'm given is 'deauthorize'. So the device 'knows' it's authorized. I'm not sure how I'm supposed to connect to the internet to enable the book to authenticate with my ADE account. Wifi is on, and nothing's happening; and when it's cabled to my computer it will not permit me to interact with anything -- and it is also not authenticating. I can't find a place in the settings where I can ask it to authenticate -- I just get an error message. Weirdly, in ADE all of my book titles appear normal, but on the actual Mini, they look like computer filenames, with underscores between the words. I see no place where I can change this on the device.

Ideas about this? The titles in question are the University of Chicago Press 'free ebook of the month', going back quite a few months.

Thank you!...
