help! can't seem to authorize my Kobo Aura with Adobe;s Digital Editions

Purrceyz · 05-09-2014, 08:51 PM

Hi all,

I've purchased a Kobo Aura (not HD). I've bought a book from Kobo but I can;t read it on the device because I can't seem to authorize it (my computers is authorized, I checked). I've tried unauthorizing & reauthorizing it and it siill doesn't show up in the bookshelves. Earlier when I was trying to get it to work, I deleted a folder on the Kobo for Digital Editions (as described in an older thread here). Does anyone know how I can get it back or do I have do a factory reset with a paperclip? Please help.

Offhand do you know which form of ADE authorization you have done and on your PC?

I'm not by a PC right now but it is key that you have authorized ADE to your Adobe ID.

Also, what version of ADE?

It's version 3.0.86137 of Adobe Digital Editions. It says "This computer can read Adobe DRM protected content authorized to the following account(s):
(my email Adobe ID ----- )

I doubled checked my Adobe ID before authorizing by logging to Adobe first - I've had an Adobe account for quite a while.)

I deleted Digital Editions completely with an uninstaller & reinstalled it. Now it's recognizing my kobo and I'm able to transfer the purchased book.

Yet if you bought the book from kobo, there's no need to go through a computer, and syncing your device over wifi should download it to your device, provided you are logged in with the same account you used for the purchase.
