There is definitely a device key (or whatever) written to the Hanlin by Desktop ADE, and without it you won't be able to open DRMed Adobe ebooks. Once the device key is on the SD card you should not need to authorize again (i.e. you can then copy DRMed ebooks to the SD card any way you want).

Stripping the DRM immediately (obviously only for personal use) on the Desktop before copying to the Hanlin is the other approach that works. The advantage of this is that then you can modify the ePub if necessary - some have very strange margins for example which are easily fixable using Calibre.
