OTOH, I haven't had to contact Adobe in quite a few years since I found that simply backing up the activation.xml file (found in the .adobe-digital-editions directory in the root of the exposed storage on a Kobo ereader) and then copying it back on a factory reset or to a new Kobo activated it without requiring me to use ADE to activate the ereader. The device.xml file found in the same directory gets regenerated during the factory reset so does not need to be saved. This, BTW, is why @davidfor included the .adobe-digital-editions directory in the database backup segment of Kobo Utilities. |

Adobe calls it reset but I think what they mean is that it resets the counter so you can 6 more activations before having to contact them again.

I've traveled using both travel agents with no problem. The last time I traveled was with ebooks.com and I used PayPal to pay.

It didn't use to, but that is going way back. It might have changed, because it didn't make a lot of sense that deauthorizing a device didn't free up an authorization. Perhaps the point was to keep people from churning devices.

Thanks. I'm thinking the issue might be particular books and IP checking. Generally I'm only trying to get a book (ebook or paper) from USA if I can't get it locally or from UK. Ireland is treated as a UK region by book, music, video, console games, and programs. It's historical since about 1590 and Queen Elizabeth I of England who severed all Irish international trade. It's only since Brexit, not 1992 Independence, that the UK middle men are gradually be cut out. Of course there are some Irish Publishers, that publish in English.

I can buy direct from a publisher website, but not a bookstore website. It seems that it's only possible to virtually travel if you're in the US already. |

But was that store Kobo? As that is the only one where I know traveling works. They seem to be more live and let live than, for instance, Amazon.
