eBook download errors - who to contact?
I've got about a dozen books that I can't download from Simon & Schuster; Adobe Digital Editions reports "E_ADEPT_INTERNAL", while Sony Reader reports "Adobe error (-1044)".

Who should I be contacting to get this resolved? (Hopefully not Simon & Schuster, since their customer service is just ignoring me...)

Simon and Schuster, unfortunately, are probably the right people to contact.

But you might try with Adobe, just to see what happens.

Better still (says the Adobe person), try contacting the place you purchased the book from.

Sorry for lack of clarity - the retailer is Simon & Schuster, in addition to being a book that they published.

Well, I'll try a fifth attempt at contacting them, I guess. *sigh*

If you can't get it resolved in a couple of weeks and paid with a credit card, contact the CC company and ask for a chargeback. In my experience that does wonders to responsiveness of CS.

The concept of having a dozen books I paid for and can't download boggles me... This technology is in such flux, and most publishers have no clue what they are doing. I would download one, make sure the download is successful, make sure the book displays well on my device, make sure it is worth the money I paid - and only then move on to buying the next.

No publisher will ever be into me for more than one book at a time...
Especially with their policy of no refunds even if they deliver the wrong book.

In my defense, these are titles that I purchased several years ago in MS Reader, and have successfully downloaded & "backed up". It's their ePub replacements which, while not strictly owed or required, I'm trying to acquire anyways.
