I'd appreciate some help with this. I have followed, by the letter, all the instructions and yet at no time have I ever been presented with a window that it suggests in Step 4 of the accompanying pamphlet. I've done everything I can to authorise ADE, but no chance. I've contacted customer support, and to my astonishment they asked me "Oh, do you have to authorise it" to be able to tranfer books downloaded (successfully) from Waterstones to my lap top (done) and then from there to my Sony EBook (not done).
I've installed, unistalled, re-installed, uninstalled, ad nauseum.
Sony have said categorically that everything I'm doing is right, and that Adobe haven't authorised the transfer of stuff I'm paying for (have already paid for) from Waterstones which has been downloaded to my lap top, to be transfered to my Sony eBook. Which is very annoying.
