I've done a quick test, but, it hasn't been successful.

I'm using ADE 2.0.1. Firstly, I had to authorise my Aura H2O which seemed to be successful. Then I sent some books from ADE. None of them opened on the device and all showed the DRM error.

One thing I was wrong about, is that ADE put the books into the root directory of the device. It also created an XML file in the "Digital Editions\Manifest" directory for the book.

I don't know why this didn't work. I know it has worked, but it has been a while since I have tried. It might be a matter of the ADE version I am using, but I don't know. I have used 1.7.2 (or whatever it was) successfully, but I don't remember if I have used 2.0 successfully. It's also been a few firmware versions since I tried.

I usually just use ADE to download books, then strip the DRM and add to calibre, so don't really use it. Maybe someone who does use ADE for transferring their DRM protected books can chime in.
