Okay, I've been messing around with the cloudLibrary software since yesterday and finally got it working. It downloads your checkouts to a tab called My Books. At first it wouldn't download anything (stuck at 10%) so I logged out and logged back in and authorized with my Adobe ID (it auto recognized my ID on first launch, but obviously didn't get something right) after that it downloaded my checkouts.
FWIW it saved the downloads in the same folder ADE saves downloads in.
Now my old Sony 505 isn't installed on my current laptop & I didn't want to mess around with finding it's drivers and Sony's software so I could get it recognized as anything but a drive letter, but I did copy the books from the folder they were downloaded to to the Sony 505 and they read just fine (the 505 is authorized to the same Adobe ID).
According to the videos 3M has posted on YouTube if the reader is one that's recognized by their software (and I assume ADE) then the My Books page should show a green button/bar at the bottom of the book cover to transfer the book to the attached device.
As a side note I will mention that somehow authorizing the cloudLibrary/3M software to my ID somehow screwed up my ADE authorization and cleared ADE's saved library (it didn't delete books from the folder or anything) so I had to reauthorize ADE, but all my old DRM'd downloads still worked fine after I did that and the cloudLibrary books worked fine in ADE too.
Hopefully all the fiddling around will be helpful to someone.
Sorry 4691mls I know this is a bit off topic to your thread.
