Playbook authorization

[Weiner48]

ADE doesn't recognise my connected Playbook even though my computer verifies its connected. I started ADE after connecting the Playbook to the computer as instructed. I did get it to work one time and transferred a book with no problem, but can't seem to repeat it. What am I missing?

Normally once it starts working it's ok, but ...

ADE2.0 has various problems: one is that it behaves in peculiar ways with certain devices where Overdrive library books are involved.

There are lots of bugs in ADE2.0.  Try replacing ADE2.0 with the older but more reliable v1.7.2.

(You can have them both installed at once if you like.)

Version 1.7.2, it is a little difficult to find, available on Adobe site for Windows and for Mac.
