When I want to copy the book which I bought, to the e-book reader it gives ''Error: x No permission to copy document here''. How can I fix that??Thanks

The publisher assigns rights to the ebook, and they may have restricted copy
capability. Here's how to find out:
In Library view, you will see a small triangle in the upper left corner of
the book's avatar/image. If you click on it, you will get a drop-down box
that shows several options.
Click on the 'Item Info' option, and it will drop down a box with
information about the book, which includes the location of it and the
permissions assigned by the publisher.
If you're allowed to make copies, it will show up there. If not, you are
allowed only the one copy.
Hope this helps!

Thanks, Tom! I've been trying the solutions posted elsewhere in this forum to get a book I borrowed/downloaded from OpenLibrary.org onto my Nook, and no matter what I did, I still got the error. I tried copying it directly (using Windows, not DE), and although the book then showed up on my Nook, I got an error that I couldn't open it.
Following your advice, I checked the item info and it says copying not allowed, viewing only allowed on "this computer" (i.e., my desktop).
Very frustrating as the only reason I tried borrowing was so that I could read on my Nook.
Thanks again for posting.

Thanks for the advice! I had already tried those instructions several times. The problem turned out to be, as I posted above, that the item I was trying to copy to my Nook forbids copying. It requires being read on the computer it was downloaded to.
So: anyone getting this error message, I suggest you check the details of the item as outlined by Tom above before trying to re-authorize your device.

Again, my problem turned out to have nothing to do with authorizing the Nook. It had to do with the specific e-book I was trying to copy to the Nook. That particular e-book (which happened to be the first one I tried to copy using ADE) did not allow copying to an e-reader. My Nook is authorized and I am not having any trouble with books that allow copying.
The reason I am posting here is to encourage anyone experiencing this error to check the details of the book they are trying to copy first, which might save them a lot of trouble. The error message is not specific enough, and the e-book details are not obvious or accessible unless you know to click on that little triangle that's not very easy to see. This leads to a lot of confusion.
I hope this clears up the confusion.
