Kobo ereader

i have a kobo ereader but when i download a book from my local library it won't open on my ereader. it says adobe is not authorized. what do i do?

If you haven't got an Adobe ID, get one (free) from the Adobe website. Try to login, and one option will be 'no userid, get a new one' or similar.
Remove any previous registration first: ctrl-shift-D to ADE (Digital Editions), and restart ADE.
Now register ADE with your Adobe ID. menu/Library/Authorize Computer.
You then need to pass that ID onto the kobo; while it is plugged in and ADE is running, menu/library/Authorize device.
Then it should all work.
May not work with the book you have already tried it with.
If not, borrow another book and try with that.
If the first one doesn't work and the second does, you won't be able to return the first one, you'll just have to wait for the loan to expire.

HT2105 I have an itunes gift card, then found out that I can not use it with my KOBO Ereader. I was wondering if I could let someone else in my family use the balance of my gift card? They have an IPad and they often use Itune Gift Cards to purchase mov

I was given an itunes gift card, then found out that my KOBO Ereader will not accept the itunes gift card. I now have this gift card with a balance on it and would like to give it to my brother (he has an IPAD and uses Itune gift cards all the time). If he was to use my gift card (with my password) would the movie or book that he purchase show up on his devise or would it show up on mine. Thanks for all the help

I'm not sure what you mean. Did you redeem the gift card to your iTunes Store account? If not, just give your brother the gift card and he can redeem it in his own iTunes Store account. If you did redeem the card, then there's no way to transfer the balance from your iTunes Store account to his. He'd have to use your iTunes Store account to make the purchases and sync to his devices.
Regards.

Adobe Digital Editions 4.0 crashes each time I try to move a library ebook to my kobo ereader

I am using Mac OS X 10.9.5. I installed ADE 4.0 and was able to use the ascm file from my local library to download a library book to ADE 4.0 bookshelf. ADE recognizes my Kobo eReader, but when I drag the book to the eReader, ADE first tells me it is copying the file to the eReader, then it promptly crashes and gives a long error (pasted below). I tried this on my laptop too, which uses Mac OS X 10.7.5, also with ADE 4.0. Exact same thing happens.
I have no idea what's going on. Does anyone have any suggestions? I tried plugging the eReader in at different times (when ADE is launched, and before it launches), with no change in the error.
Any help will be appreciated!

Kobo eReading App stopped working?

Greetings, could someone explain to me why the pre-installed Kobo eReading app stopped working on my Blackberry Playbook? I was enjoying the app and had purchased several books that are now missing from my library. It stopped working five days ago since then I have sent two messages to Kobo customer service but have not received a reply. There is nothing mentioned on the Kobo website about this problem either. This is very frustrating!

There is a prior thread about this.
Please search the boards prior to posting.

EBooks in Digital Editions not appearing on Kobo eReader

Hello
I'm using my ereader for the first time: Kobo Ereader Touch 6".
I downloaded a book from google play.
Opened it in Adobe Digital Editions v4.
Downloaded the epub and pdf files.
Plugged the ereader into the computer.
Authorized my eReader with Adobe.
I can see KOBOeReader under Devices in Adobe.
I've added the upub version of the book in Adobe Digital Editions.
I've opened the Kobo desktop application and synced the device.
I've also tried wirelessly syncing the device.
I still can't see the book on the ereader.
I've tried restarting the ereader and digital editions in different orders but nothing has helped.
Can you please help me to get this working.
Thank-you

Kobo eReader Authorization Issue

I received a Kobo eReader for Christmas, and I love it.....except that I can't see ebooks checked out of the library. I can see them on my PC, but not on the eReader.
I have done the following:
uninstalled ADE
reset my Kobo eReader to factory settings
reinstalled ADE
authorized both my PC and Kobo eReader
reloaded my eBook library onto my Kobo eReader
waited 24 hours, as suggested in previous forum posts
I am still not able to read the library ebook on my Kobo eReader.
Any other suggestions would be appreciated.
thank you

I am having a similar problem. I can get the books onto my reader, but it puts it on the reader, and not my memory card, and replaces the existing books on my reader. If you find a soltution let me know.

Cannot download purchased books from my laptop to my kobo ereader.

I have tried reading and following all the directions for the adobe digital editions and my reader does show up on the left hand side of the ade screen but none of the books are listed and I have not had any luck in transferring them or downloading them to my ereader. I have been at this for about 6 hours tonight and am at my wits end. Can anyone help or should I just wait until I am somewhere where I can access wifi.
Thanks in advance.

How do I get my kobo ereader to accept adobe digital?

HT4059 Can I read an iBook on a Kobo ereader?

Can I read an iBook on a Kobo e-reader?

If the book doesn't use DRM protection, then yes it's possible, through iTunes to do this. If its protected, then no. Apple's DRM scheme is unique.

Kobo and library books

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

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!

ADE TO KOBO PROBLEM

Hi...i have downloaded adobe digital editions and can access books from my public library...
HOWEVER THE DIGITAL EDITIONS WILL NOT ACCESS MY kobo...THE kobo IS CONNECTED TO MY COMPUTER WHERE THE ade IS INSTALLED..
i HAVE TRIED RELOADING THE ADE SEVERAL TIME AND WITH DIFFERENT BROWSERS...NOTHING WORKS ...i HAVE UNINSTALLED THE ADE SEVERAL TIMES NOTHING FIXES THE PROBLEM...I CANNOT TRANSFER BOOKS FROM THE COMPUTER TO THE KOBO
HELP
BJ

If it worked before, and doesn't work now, AND you haven't changed anything
on your computer (including updating your Windows/MAC software and updating
ADE), then you should contact KOBO and see if there's anything new on their
end. My guess is that something in the operating system has changed.
If KOBO has an update to its software, try it and see if that fixes the
problem. If there's nothing new, instead of messing around with ADE
reinstalls (which may not do anything to help), try deauthorizing the KOBO
ereader (check the Adobe HELP section for how to do this, and the proper
key combinations). Close ADE, so the settings will take effect the next
time you open ADE, and shut off your computer (so its settings will be
changed also). Then, power up and attach the KOBO, so the operating system
shows it knows that it's there. Then, start ADE, and see if it recognizes
the KOBO ereader. ADE may ask you to authorize it, and when you do, things
should be back to 'normal'.....
Hope this helps!
