need to authenticate adobe for ereader

[Ingriddekker]

Got this new ereader ( Gobii). can't download yet as i need to authenticate adobe. It does not allow me. it seems that it is either my firewall preventing me or my internet connection settings. But i don't know what i am supposed to change. I tried turning firewall off to see, makes no difference. Thank you for your help.

Possibe reason, ADE 2.0 does not work correctly with some devices.

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.
