Make sure you have the correct date and time BEFORE loading a book on via ADE.
By this, I mean that you manually input it, not just rely on connecting to wifi to have it auto correct. The device will only show the correct time while connected or perhaps somewhat afterwards, but, not permanently. So make sure you are not on wifi when manually setting the date/time.
This is about 90% of the time the problem i have with library books.
If the date and time are exactly right, input manually, the best way to get a book to work that didn't previously is as follows
1. delete book using the device, not connected to pc
2. make sure you don't have any expired library books on your device, delete all expired books
3. power off (not sleep, but a full power off) your kobo
4. make sure you've closed ADE, if it was open from before
5. turn on kobo, reconnect to pc
6. redownload books into ade
7. copy books to kobo
8. close ade
9. *properly*/ safely disconnect device
when i do these things, i rarely have a library book not work the first time, and even more rarely not work a second time.
just a tip, it's best to use ade 2.0..... after that version (or definely from version 3.0), there's a chance books you load will have the drm converted to a more complex drm in the future, with no option to stop this happening. if you only use library books, and don't own books with drm, you might not care, but otherwise you might want to downgrade.
i use 1.7, but i use linux and that's the one i can getting working with no hassle. imho, there is NO reason to use newer versions of ADE.
good luck!
