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
You don't need to do any authorization on your device. When you connected to your computer and used ADE to authorize your Mini, it should have placed a file in the .adobe-digital-editions directory called activation.xml. This file authorizes your Mini. You mentioned a line under Adobe Authorization with the email address you used with Adobe and Deauthorize.

How did you drag and drop your library to the Mini? Did you do this through ADE by dragging the books and dropping them on the KOBOeReader icon in the left column? Or by dragging and dropping the library directly to the Mini's storage? If the latter, you'll have to remove them and re-add them from ADE.

David
