    Right, I don't think you can return them when youve used the workaround. I've tried too in ade.

    I was able to return the library books using Sony Reader and then deleted

    them from ADE.

    @ bunlady: Fortran is an ancient computer language used to program Univac computers using punchcards.
    This was way back in the 1970. After that came Basic which is a computer language the builds on the fortran language and much easier to use. Then came Pascal and Trubo Pascal and now they are using compert languages like C+ and C++, but it all started with fortran. I got as far as learning to program in Basic and I did learn a bit of Pascal but the rest of them are over my head. I wasn't that interested in programing though I have kept up on some of what the new programers are doing.

    Yes.  Assembler and octal at the low level, FORTRAN, COBOL, PL/1, RPG/RPGII

    and Transaction Generator at the high level.  I don't program in the BASIC

    or 'C' series, though.  I was promoted to 'management' before they were

    widespread.

    Just got these instructions from my librarian...and they worked for me.  Just added the five books Icouldn't get before

    I have Mac 10.6.8 and use Firefox for browser.

     

    Create a backup of the original 'restore' folder

     

    Close ADE if it's open.

     

    Go to Documents > My Digital Editions. Rename the restore folder to restore.old.

     

    Note: 'Documents' may be named 'My Documents'.

     

    Download a fresh copy of the title.

     

    Open (or run) the newly downloaded eBook (which is an ACSM file).

     

    When you open the file, ADE will pop up and load the eBook you selected.

     

    Hope this helps the rest of you.  What a relief.  Good luck!

    Glad I could be of help.  So annoying when you can't get the ebooks you want to read.  Have fun.
