Yesterday I signed out of one account on the glo and then used a newly downloaded version of Kobo Desktop for PC to install the Glo firmware. I then side loaded the epubs from Calibre.

When I noticed the files I deleted .adobe-digital-editions directory, and the Digital Editions directory containing the files Annotations and Manifest, with no harm done because I was able to continue reading the book that was in the Manifest. The Manifest file appeared to copy the book from the book list into it.

But the next time that I plugged the Glo into the PC I noticed that these directories/files are back, and the book is back in the Manifest.

Is that normal?

Below are the pics.
The adobe-digital-editions directory contains the device.xml file which is used to identify your device when/if you register it with Adobe using ADE. After registering with Adobe, a second file called activation.xml will be added with your Adobe account and other information to allow reading Adobe ADEPT DRMed epubs.

The Digital Editions folder is used when you use the Adobe RMSDK to read epubs. If it is missing, it will be recreated the next time you read an epub.

So, yes, the directories/files you saw were normal.
