cant get my ebook to download from ADE 2.0

[Guest]

I can't get my ebook to transfer from ADE 2.0 to my Ematic ereader EB106.  Any ideas?

Judging by reviews, I'm afraid that device may not support DRM eBooks.

(search for 'Most Ebooks Can't Be Read On This - Important Info')

It is not on Adobe's list of supported devices. http://blogs.adobe.com/digitalpublishing/supported-devices

It is on Overdrive's (DRM library books) list of explicitly unsupported devices  http://www.overdrive.com/resources/drc/incompatibledevices.aspx

One Q&A does suggest it can read DRM library books:  http://answers.walmart.com/answers/1336/product/21635127/questions.htm?expandquestion=939016 top question

but doesn't give any hint as to how.

It may be worth uninstalling ADE 2.0 and trying v1.7.2 instead.

A few of us have found devices that work with 1.7.2 but NOT properly with 2.0.

However, as the 106 isn't on the Adobe list, I wouldn't hold out too much hope that 1.7.2 will solve your problem.

Version 1.7.2 is a little difficult to find,  I found it for PC at http://www.tucows.com/preview/853736/Adobe-Digital-Edition-For-EBooks

If you have non-DRM books you want to transfer, you could try the Calibre software.  http://calibre-ebook.com/

I can't promise that will work, but it stands a good chance.

I find it more convenient than ADE for non-DRM eBooks.

(Sadly Calibre isn't all it says on the Home Page: 'Calibre is the one-stop solution to all your eBook needs', as it doesn't handle DRM eBooks at all.)
