Kobo and library books

Question

Now that I've downloaded a book from the library, How do I get it
on to the Kobo?  It's really frustrating.

Answer 1

There's a couple of pieces of this picture I'm not getting, so let me give
you an answer that starts with the basics.
The Kobo ereader - actually any ereader - has to be recognized by ADE as an
authorized device.  If you follow a certain sequence, this takes place
automagically, because everything is aligned.  First, the Kobo ereader has
to be 'activated' by registering it with Kobo.  That means you have to set
up an account with the Kobo store/website, and then link the ereader to the
website.  When you do this, the Kobo store will embed your Kobo ID in the
Kobo ereader.  Then, turn on your computer and plug in your ereader to a USB
port.  Assuming that your computer is a Windows machine, the computer will
recognize the Kobo ereader as a new device - usually a hard drive.  Once
Windows reports that your new hardware is ready to use, you can start up
ADE.  ADE 'should' recognize that your Kobo ereader is attached, and
register it in the left hand panel of its Library view.  Once this is done,
you can drag and drop books from ADE onto your ereader.
Hope this helps!
