how to copy an e-book to my Edge, from my PC?

janvangastel · 07-30-2010, 12:28 PM

I don't have internet acces yet for my Edge and I purchased an e-book from Bol.com. I had to install Adobe Digital Editions. I thought I would be able to copy the e-book to my edge, but I don't see how, because it seems that the book is 'one' with Adobe Digital Editions on my PC. Is there a way, of is it just not possible to get that book into my edge?

OK, thanks. Did that. But when I try to open the e-book, Edge says 'document licensed to another user' and doesn't open the book.

I have not registered yet, because I have no internet acces. I ordered a ethernet adapter (and a wireless router) but they haven't arrived yet.

Thanks Boris. I appreciate your quick responses!

Thank you Boris!

To recap, the eDGe need to be registered first, and the email you use during the registration for Entourage and Adobe should be the same as the email you use for purchasing Adobe Digital Editions ebooks. At least the Adobe account (during registration on the eDGe) and the email your using for the purchase Adobe Digital Editions must be the same.

Does it mean Adobe Digital Editions is DRM protected by the email you use? Am I allowed to read this ebooks where ever I use the correct Adobe account, PC, eDGe, others?

Not protected PDF ebooks/documents can be read anyway on every device including the eDGe.

I didn't succeed yet in reading the book I bought at Bol.com. I changed my emailadres and password at Bol.com to the ones I used when registering the Edge and downloaded the e-book again, in vain. Then I even purchased the book for the second time, on my new account this time, but even that one I couldn't read om my edge.

Not possible any more Boris. I threw them away, because I was sure that the new one would work.....which I no know isn't the case.
