Not entirely right I think. When you autorized your ereader you should be able to drag it to there. There is a maximum of 6 books or devices which can be attached to this noce program

There's a difference between the first post and this one relating to what

messages you've received.  As I posted in stream above, if the message says

'no permission to copy here', then you're encountering restrictions in

place with digital rights.  If the message is as you say now (file format

error -and won't open), that's an entirely different set of circumstances.

Can you clarify which it is?

=========

Timing is everything.  In this case, let me suggest a couple of things.

First, look at the display on your ereader when you attach it to your

computer, and then when you start ADE.  It should tell you that you're

connected.  When you finish transferring the ebook to your ereader, close

ADE, and watch the ereader display.  Do not do anything to it until it

tells you it's completed the transfer of the new files.  Then, disconnect

the ereader logically from the computer.  In Windows, you can do this by

going to the START bar's right hand corner, finding the icon that looks

like a computer that displays 'Safely Remove Hardware' when you rest your

cursor on it.  Right-click and it should display a list of external

devices.  Then, click on the one that's the drive letter assigned to your

ereader.  When Windows is done, and displays 'Safe to remove....', you can

pull the plug on your ereader.

Hope this helps!

May be we are just lucky in the Netherlands. All of my books with the same properties (view on every device, no copy no print) are readable on our two ebooks as well. It works with ePub, i have a problem with pdf which can be read on ADE but my ereader can't open it. Strange.

Hi, I have authorized my e-reader - I got it from NHA - but I get the same message as above: Allow viewing: on any device

but copying and printing : not allowed!

If I open my e-reader by connecting it to my MAC, the icon of my ebook I can see, but as soon as I disconnect from my Mac and try to open it on my e-reader I get the message: File Decode Failed.

If you start using ADE you have to give a users name; and with this you can (should!) be able to connect 4 computers and 6 e-readers or tablets.

All your family-members should be able to share the books when they use the given users name.

Unfortunately I did not succeed in any way after many hours of attempts!

So far I still need HELP!!!

Yes, ADE has converted my book into EPUB too; and I drag the book to my ereader, but it does not work at all. I only see: File Decode Failed.

So I don't copy, but I drag it.

I think somehow there are restrictions, but I don't know who or where.

Hi,
the info about connecting several devices I got from 'Consumentengids
june 2012' page 31:

"you need ADE to drag bought books to your e-reader or tablet. You have
to create a log-in name, and to this log-name you can join 4 pc's and 6
devices like e-readers or tablets.
If all members of the family join with this same log-in name (and they must use the same log-in name!), books can be 'shared' ."

I downloaded ADE to my Macbook, but should this ADE be on my e-reader
too? Is the problem that ADE is not/not to install on my e-reader?

I see ADE on my e-book but as soon as I disconnect my e-reader from either my notebook/PC I cannot open it and get "no documents found".

I have authorized my Macbook.

Perhaps it's true that, however it should be possible to transfer/drag
books  to my e-reader, in some cases - DRM (?) prevents this anyway.

Today I downloaded another -bought - book (in ePUB), now via my Windows PC; I first installed ADE and the URLlink.acsm,and I could read the book on my PC.

But when I connected my e-reader to my PC it took long time untill the device was recognized as "H"; I could read the titles, but as soon as I disconnected the e-reader......both books were disappeared from my e-reader!

I think my e-reader is not recognized (the USB cable is not USB 2.0-could this be a problem?)

It seems to be I only can read my e-books on my Macbook/Windows PC!

Let's talk about transferring ebooks to your computer and then to an

ereader.

You are correct that DRM will prevent you from copying ebooks to your

ereader.  If the message from ADE says 'no permission to copy here', or if

you display the rights and they say 'copying not allowed', then you will

not be able to copy the ebook to your ereader.

Also, you have not told us what ereader you have.  Many ereaders are

supported by ADE, but not all.  You can find a list of supported devices

HERE <http://blogs.adobe.com/digitalpublishing/supported-devices> in this

link.  Check it for your ereader/device.  If your ereader/device is not in

the list it MAY work but the chances are good that it will not.  You

confuse the question by saying that you can transfer the ebook to your

ereader, but when you disconnect your ereader, the ebook disappears.  That

would tell us that your ereader is supported.

If your ereader is supported, then you should follow the correct process to

attach it, transfer ebooks and then shut it down properly.  The way you

tell us that you are doing it is not proper.  You should do it this way:

Attach your ereader to the computer and wait until the computer gives it a

drive letter.  Check the screen of the ereader to make sure it says that it

attached to the computer.  THEN start ADE.  ADE should show the ereader as

an entry on the bookshelf - the left hand side of the screen - in Library

mode.  Transfer ebooks to the ereader by dragging and dropping them to the

ereader.  When you are done, you shut down ADE but DO NOT DISCONNECT THE

EREADER YET.  Wait until the ereader tells you that it's finished

processing new content.  Then, disconnect the ereader logically from the

computer.  In Windows, go to the lower right hand corner of the START bar

and find the icon that looks like a computer.  Left-click on that icon, and

your ereader's drive letter should show up as an entry.  Click on that

entry and Windows will tell you that it is safe to disconnect the ereader.

Some other points that you've raised:

I've told you already where to find the number of computers and ereaders

that ADE will support.

ADE works with USB 1.0 and 2.0.  This is not a problem.

Hope this helps!

Ummm.....  The transfer should complete in a very short time - probably

under a minute.  If it's not finishing, then there is the chance that the

ebook is corrupted.

Let's check to see what the ebook's digital rights are.  It's possible that

they're set by the source so that you can't copy it to an ereader (which is

a bummer, but entirely legal).  Open ADE in Library mode.  Then, hover your

cursor on the small arrow next to the name of the ebook.  A drop-down menu

will appear.  Choose 'Item Info' from the list, and another window will

display the information.  About halfway down, look for the digital rights

to copy.  If it says 'Not Allowed', that's why the transfer isn't working.

There's nothing more you can do if that's what it says.  You can contact

the source and ask them if they would let you download another copy whose

digital rights allow you to transfer it to an ereader.

==================

Yes.  Digital rights can be set by the author, publisher or distributor.

The supplier may - or may not - be able to do something for you.  Good

luck!

You seem very knowledger on this subject so me i can get some help.  I had a sony ereader (about 4 yr old) and my daughter damaged the screen to the point you can't read it any more.  I went out and bought a noon touch.  I have epub books that I purchased for my sont that i haven't read and want to put on my nook. The salesperson at Best Buy told me this was possible since the nook reads epub format.  I've downloaded the ADR but get an error: Activation server error code:E_AUTH.not.ready.  I can open ADR and copy the book to the nook, but can read them.  On the nook i get an error dialog: user not activated.  Help?

This is really weird...up until yesterday it was fine. I could download a book in my ADE and transfer to my nook, and it was fine.

Now no matter what book it is, or format it is  continuesouly gives me a "No permission to copy."

Can any one please suggest what I can do about this?

Thank you
