ya it was a "slightly used" gift, but i did not authorize it on any other pc except my own, running windows xp
did exactly as you said NetSeeker, but nothing happened. the messages i do get are i need to authorise the device to my pc, but when i try it says e_auth_bad_device_key and also e_act_too_many_activations
reader library is installed
adobe digital editions is installed
what i can do is: upload books to adobe, view and read on adobe.
what now
you are my only light at the end of this dark tunnel, it is now 1:30am in the morning here and i am still looking for a solution
