I am having difficulty transferring a book from my pc to my Kobo. A Kobo online chat did not solve the problem. He suggested that I come here. The Adobe Digital Editon is authorized. My Kobo was set to 'Manage Library' but nothing happened.

Ah, but is your Kobo reader activated with Kobo's website? That's the first
thing.
You didn't say what the 'problem' was, so my response might cover some
ground you have been over before....
Once your Kobo ereader is activated with Kobo's website, you can plug it
into your computer as a USB drive. When your computer recognizes it and
assigns it a drive letter, then start ADE. When ADE comes up, it will
recognize your Kobo ereader, and it should show your Kobo ereader in the
left hand panel of its Library view. It's simple after that: drag and drop
the book from the right hand library onto your Kobo.
After you've loaded your Kobo up, you need to close ADE, and eject the Kobo
ereader from yor computer. Leave the Kobo plugged in until it tells you
it's finished updating itself with the new content. Then you can pull the
plug and you're set to read.
There are some catches. The books you're downloading will have certain
permissions granted by the publisher. If you get an error message during
your drag and drop that tells you you can't do that, it may be that the
publisher has not authorized copying it to an ereader. That's the main
one. Others might crop up during the linkup and relate to the way the Kobo
is authorized. If that happens, come back here and search the Forum for
those particular error messages.
Hopefully, it will be straightforward and no problems.
Hope this helps!
