How do I transfers books from ADE to Sony Reader Library?

Got new Sony e reader and want to transfer books from my Adobe Digital Editions library and cant get my Adobe Library to recognize my Sony Reader. Have been live chatting with Adobe and Sony to no avail all day yesterday. Hope someone out there can help me. valeff

You're trying something that's not going to work. SONY's Reader Library is
independent - and not compatible with ADE's library, even though there may
be .epub files in both. Sorry!

Reader Library Application

I bought the eBook, Cracking the AP Calculus AB & BC Exams, 2014 Edition, and the Reader Library App crashed when it tried to download the eBook. Of course, it's in my transaction history and my "Purchased Content" list so I was able to go there and re-download it. However, when I tried to re-download the eBook, the Reader Library App crashed again. I've already paid for the book, but whenever I try to download it, the Reader Library App crashes and I have no idea how to fix it. No other eBook gives me this problem.
Solved!

Hi “paremo”.
First of all:
An .acsm (Adobe Content Server Manager) file, is not an ebook and does not contains any ebook inside. It’s only a download manager file!
Acsm is a file format used to provide Digital Rights Management(DRM) for e-books. But only Adobe DRM-protected ebooks. It contains a link of a server, on where is located the “real” ebook file, permissions etc.. After opening an acsm file and if everything is OK (permissions, links, etc.), starts downloading of the real ebook file. This file now, is an .epub or a .pdf one, but encoded and you need a device authorized with the same Adobe ID to read it.
All "Sony Reader Library" apps and "Sony Readers Devices" contain Adobe’s “technology parts”, in order to manage this type of file.
On your case, it should be an issue with your "Sony Reader Library app" (if the app that you use, is a Sony one).

Library Books in ADE, but cant transfer to Sony Reader

My husband just purchased the Sony Pocket Edition for me and I have been able to download and read free ebooks from feebooks.com, but when I went to check some out from the Ohio Ebook project, that is when I started having issues.
The files are .acsm. I can view them in ADE, can see my reader plugged in and is listed in ADE (never did ask me to authorize it, but maybe that was because I already had done so in Sony Redaer Library?)
Anyway, now I have my library ebooks checked out, sitting in ADE, but can NOT for the life of me get them to my sony pocket edition. What am I doing incorrectly?
Thank you for any help- it is greatly apprecited

Found out what I was doing incorrectly. I was trying to transfer the .ascm file and did not realize that a new folder opened elsewhere called "My Digital Editions" where the library ebooks PDFs were.

Have Sony reader 505, ADE doesn't recognize when attached to mac OX 10.6.8. works with reader library but not with ADE

Have Sony reader 505, ADE doesn't recognize when attached to mac OX 10.6.8. works with reader library but not with ADE

YEAY!
I just got the solution (that worked for me, anyway) from a Sony support rep. No PC or VMWare needed.
OK, you've installed Sony eBook Library v3, and Adobe Digital editions, you've set up your acocunts and authorized your computer on both of them, and you've authorized your Reader with the Sony Library application.
You go to the public library ebook download page, either through the Sony Library or just through a bookmark.
You check out a book, and open it in Adobe Digital Editions, which still won't recognize your Reader.
BUT, in the Sony Library app, you can now click "File, Import.." and go find the pdf you downloaded with the Adobe app.
On my Mac, it was in ~/Documents/Digital Editions
Import it, and drag it to your Reader.
The first time you do this, it will ask you to authorize the Reader with your Adobe ID.
Worked like a charm.

ADE doesn't recognize Sony Reader in Mac OS 10.5 after Sony EBL 3.0 update

I've got a PRS-505, and I just put Sony eBook Library 3.0 on my Mac laptop running Leopard 10.5, but Adobe Digital Editions still won't recognize the Reader when I plug it in.
I've tried deauthorizing the computer and the device, and reinstalling ADE. The Reader works with eBook Library, and it still works with ADE on my old Windows machine.
But, whenever I plug in my Reader on the Mac, it gets recognized by EBL but not ADE. Nothing happens in ADE.
Any help would be appreciated.

ADE is not recognizing my Sony reader. Followed instructions. It is in the supported list. What do I do to get to get it recognized?

" I get told that my ipad cannot be synced because there is not enough free space to hold all the items in the itunes library! "
Ok. Choose less to sync to your ipad.
"Also very puzzled about icloud! "
What is the confusion?

ADE does not connect to my Sony reader when it is loaded so I cannot transfer books purchased from Kobo and loaded on ADE.

Bought some books from the KOBO company. Downloaded Adobe Digital Editions and loaded the purchased books. Kobos responded to my inquiry stating ADE would "find" my reader and load a screen to allow transfer the books to my Sony reader. Not so. Following instructions from Kobos to the letter, connection nor instructions showed up. Kobos has been unresponsive to inquiries since the first reply to my original request for help.

Where did you buy this!? I have a sony docking stAtion that I got for Christmas and my new iphone 5s won't fit into it! So I can't use it! I want something that connects to my iphone 5s that will allow me to plug my phone into my song docking station that has the iphone 4 thing... Is this what you have????

Plug in second eBook reader, can't read library book on PC

I'm not quite sure how flexible overdrive Library loans using ADE are meant to be, so maybe I'm trying to do something I shouldn't, but the behaviour is very odd.
I have been using my local library and reading loaned books on a Bookeen Opus; using ADE as a necessary intermediary.
This has worked fine (apart from an ADE irritation mentioned in another post, but that is pretty much a side-effect).
I can read the books on the PC if I want to (which I generally don't), and on the eBook reader.
My wife recently got a second reader (Sony PRS-350) which we have registered with the same Adobe id.
I have transferred a bought DRM book to it and that worked fine, we can read it on PC or either reader.
However, I am getting very odd effects with library books.
I've transferred books from her library account and mine onto the PC, and on to the first reader.
No problems, all behaved as before.
BUT ... when I plug the new reader into the computer, ADE gets upset and refuses to go near any of the library books.
When I try to copy a library book to the reader, I get a message 'CE_COPY_NOT_ALLOWED - No permission to copy the book.'
And when I try to read one on the PC with the new reader plugged in, I get 'Unable to open ... No record for this loan is found on this machine.'
Unplug the new reader and I can read the book on the PC; but obviously can't copy it.
Is this a feature of ADE and Adobe DRM rules on library books, or a bug in ADE, or a problem specifically with the Sony, or ...???
Googling gave me various people with 'No record for this loan is found on this machine' issues, but they all seemed different.
I guess I could install ADE on another machine with another adobeId for my wife, and register her reader with that id, but that seems a bit complicated. And not possible for lots of people who don't have a second PC.
Can anyone suggest a way around it?

Transferred from another thread to keep discussion together.
You should not make generalizations based on your experiences with
DRM-protected library ebooks that don't allow copying and then say ADE
won't copy ebooks to a PRS-350. That's not true. I have a PRS-350 and I
am able to transfer ebooks to it via ADE. The difference is DRM
protection, which you've overlooked in your previous postings. THAT is
preventing your copying an ebook via ADE to any ereader.
I didn't say ADE wouldn't copy DRM-protected books, I said that it wouldn't copy DRM protected library books.
As I had mentioned in previous postings, it will transfer other DRM protected books with precisely the same copy protection information (except for the time expiry on the library books).
I should have been more precise: ADE 2.0.67532 won't copy Overdrive library books borrowed from Hampshire County Library to my Sony PRS-350 on my machine with Sony Reader 2.0.01.11080 installed. Others have similar issues. As Triantiwontigongolope20notes above, My Sony ereader worked fine with the old version of ADE but the new version is causing all sorts of problems. Or see Kovar's issues at http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1079584?tstart=0
If you have sucessfully transferred DRM Overdrive books to your PRS-350 using ADE, can you please let us know the version level of ADE and Sony Reader (it's probably the underlying driver software which it installs that matters) you have installed? That might help us narrow down the bug that undoubtably exists.

Digital Editions erkennt Sony Reader nicht

Situation: Mac
Digital Editions erkennt den Sony Ebookreader PRS650 nicht.
Von Reader Library wird er erkannt kann aber keine Ebooks draufmachen. Hinweis: Ebook kann nicht geladen werden da Reader für eine andere
Person autorisiert wurde.
Computer ist authorisiert. Reader war bei Sony TVS in Reparatur. Displaytausch, seit dem besteht das Problem. Möchte morgen in Urlaub, daher
schnelle Lösung bitte.
Digital Editions und Reader Library wurden schon deinstalliert und neu installiert, deauthorisiert und neu authorisiert. Sony Hotline kann nicht helfen, verweist auf Adobe, die wissen es nicht und verweisen auf Sony.
Reader wurde schon auf Werkseinstellung gesetzt. Hat alles nichts geholfen.
HILFE !! Danke schön.

ADE Mac doesn't support the Sony Reader. You will need to use the Sony Software instead.

Sony reader PRS-350 - Problems still unsolved?

iMac does not recognize Sony PRS-350 Reader when USB connected. This problem was first described in 2009. In the Reader Library software, Error is displayed where it should be Reader. Moving downloaded books is impossible. Could it be true that Sony still has done nothing to repair this? Any advice is welcome, thanks!

The way you describe your problem tells me that it may be because of the
digital rights assigned to the ebook. Publishers and resellers have the
ability to restrict downloads to your PC.
With ADE in Library mode, put your cursor on the title of the ebook. A
small arrow will appear. Put your cursor on that arrow, and a drop-down
menu will appear. In the middle, you'll see the digital permissions
embedded in the ebook, and I'd bet that the one about copying says
'no'.... If this is the case, you can go back to the source and complain.
They might - or might not - be able/willing to do anything about it.
Hope this helps!

PRS650 autorisation without Reader Library?

Win7, PRS650.
Downloaded free ebooks copied them to ereader, all ok.
Now I like to buy ebooks.
Installed ADE, autorised pc: so far OK.
Download book with DRM (free ebook samples at the adobe site), which can be read on pc screen (within ADE).
Connected PRS650 with USB nothing happened*.
Tried another usb port: still no autorisation question from ADE to autorise the ereader.
I don't see any icon in ADE or option to store the ebook to the ereader.
I refuse to install Reader Library software from Sony (crap).
Question: is it possible to autorise/recognise the PRS650 only using ADE?
*except that Windows give two autoplay popups with "what do you want to do with those drives?" When I use explorer I have access to READER and SETTINGS drive of the PRS650.

Thanks FiAZ forr your help.
I've reading the F1 for a thousand of times or so, did every stepp (it is stupid simple) but no success at all.
This is the text from Adobe/F1:
Adobe Digital Editions allows you to transfer items from your library to a supported eReader device.
(>>PRS650 is supported)
Connect the supported eReader device to your computer and launch Digital Editions.
(>> I did)
Digital Editions automatically detects the presence of your device and offers to authorize it with your Adobe ID.
(>> That did not happen)
If you have not authorized Digital Editions with your computer (>>I did autorise my computer), you will need to complete that first (Digital Editions guides you through that process: View the Activation and Authorization topic). (>>not needed, i did autorise my computer, before based on that topic)
Both Digital Editions and the device must be authorized to be able to transfer protected content to and from the device.
(>>yes I know)
Unprotected content can be transferred... etc. not relevant stuff.
So if I installed ADE on two different computers from scratch (never insalled ADE before on them, and both computers are relative new/clean), both computers were autorised with the same account and that process worked without a hitch, then I think, is there something with my PRS650?
Do I have to do some pre-configuration or pre-autorisation my PRS650?
I emphasis that DRM free books were stored on this ereader by drag & drop in WIN7 explorer and that worked right away!
I used Calibre too, and transfered DRM free ebooks and freee newspapers too, all ok.
Frustrated as I am, because we can't read bought ebooks, I picked up another ereader we have. A Sony PRS350.
You guessed: problem is same. If I had plugged him before or while ADE was run, it doesn't matter, no recognition of the ereader from ADE.
If someone has an idea...

(sony) `Ebook Library' to `Adobe Digital Editions'

Searching here for ways to convert an (sony) `Ebook Library' format (*.lrx) to something the Adobe Digital Editions reader can read, I find long threads about converting the other way (adobe to sony) but not the reverse.
I have both freebie readers and have found the `Ebook Library' offered for download by sony, has a more extensive library easily accessed thru the reader in the genre I like to read (crime fiction/mystery).
I'm sure the same stuff is available somewhere on the net for the Adobe Digital Editions reader but with the `Ebook Library' I haven't had to search, just use there library.
The trouble is the reader part of `Ebook Library' sucks. Its pretty primitive compared to the adobe DE. For starters I can't reduce the size of type characters below a rather huge size. Even the smallest setting in the reader results in rather huge type. The reader is cumbersome and clunky in many other ways as well.
I vastly prefer reading with the Adobe DE. But do not like having to put so much time and energy into finding the books I want to download in Adobe DE format. Jumping around thru the various links I have for ebooks to find what I want instead of using the `Ebooks Library' to find it in one search/purchase combined move.
So how can I read the stuff downloaded in *.lrx format in Adobe DE. There is no intent to circumvernt DRM or some other sleaze... I don't mind paying for the books... I just want to read them in the software of choice, Adobe DE

While I'm glad that you like ADE, unfortunately as you have undoubtedly already figured out we only support PDF and ePub for viewing and do not support viewing of Sony's .lrf (unencrypted) or .lrx (DRM protected). I don't think that will change anytime soon (but I'm just an engineer and have been wrong about product directions plenty of times).
For non DRM Sony files there are plenty of convertors out there to use - although most of them focus on converting to .lrf so you can place the file on a Sony Reader. A good general resource for conversion tools, how well they work etc is the MobileRead Format Conversion forum
Other than that, the best I can do for you is to suggest some additional links to add to your various link you already have:
Feedbooks - provides free access to public domain material in a variety of formats including ePub http://www.feedbooks.com
A Crime/Mystery filtered link:
http://www.feedbooks.com/discover/list/books?type=Crime%2FMystery
ebooks.com - offers a wide varieties of books
http://www.ebooks.com
(look for their fiction/crime section - they don't have a separate mystery section)
Good Luck
