Direct quote from maureenhutch Mar 26, 2016. You can then click on the ereader (not on all items) and see if you can open the book as it sits in the ereader area. This should work immediately (as it did for me), or it should ask for an authorization. Even if it is not authorized, try dragging the new book onto it. Click the back button at the top and then click your ereader, and then it's gear sign to look to see if the ereader is also authorized. This should cause the book to open AND it also should cause your connected ereader to become authorized at the same time. Then enter your (Overdrive or whatever you use) email address and password.

Use the drag down menu to find your library's license type, for me it is Overdrive. Adobe will then PROMPT YOU for the authorization. After deleting all authorizations (check in all locations to make sure it shows no authorizations), download the new book to your saving spot, then click it to make it open in adobe digital editions. CLOSE and reopen ADE so that the return definitely happens). If you are out of new borrows, you will have to use adobe digital editions to RETURN one of your digital library books.

If you are having trouble getting library books on a kobo (quite probably a new one because changing things typically causes problems), try deleting all authorizations - (on your computer and on your ereader, but keep the ereader connected.) Then go to your public library website and get a NEW book - (something about trying to open a book that you already took out somewhere, causes a glitch - for example if you previously opened a book on a tablet or phone, then that's it - there will very very likely be NO OPENING it elsewhere, so make sure it is a newly borrowed one. Here is what I did on ADE 4.5 and it worked for me: Gosh so many people are reverting to ADE 3.0 but that appears to be totally unnecessary. If you’re interested in social recommendations, 3G, apps, or any of the other bonus features found on the Nook and Kindle, it’s best to go with one of those, obviously, but the totally uncluttered and ultra-simple operation of the Kobo eReader Touch Edition makes it a perfectly good choice for an e-reading novice or purist.Here is her message verbatim: Re: Oops! This document couldn't be opened'. It’s a close race, but if you’re just going to be using this device for plain old reading, the Kobo is in my opinion the best bet right now. It also comes in several finishes, though the black is probably the most tasteful. Personally I like how it looks better than the Nook and the Kindle both. It really has been reduced to just a screen and a button, there’s very little to say but that it’s nice. The device itself is light and comfortable to hold, the lovely Kobo trademark quilted back being soft and inviting as always. PDFs are easy to zoom in on and scroll around, though their scanned text doesn’t fare so well on e-paper screens.

You can also drag and drop your own ePub, text, or PDF files onto the MicroSD card and it’ll find them, including if they’re organized in folders. You have access to the Kobo e-book store, which has plenty of titles - most of the big bestsellers and tons of free books. Navigation is now achieved by touching the page numbers at the bottom of books or PDFs, which then brings up your scrub bar, font options, and so on. Navigating by touch improves it, I think, and the Pearl screen does what it does, equally as well as the other devices that have it. The UI is similar to the previous Kobo, which is to say clean and unassuming. It has fewer buttons (just the one home button and a sleep/wake switch) and of course accesses a different store, but the actual e-reading experience will be mostly the same. Same screen, same speed, same page caching, etc.

The question here isn’t really what does the Kobo do, but what does the Kobo do differently? In many ways it is nearly identical to the Nook, at least to the end user. In addition to what’s shown in the video, there’s unofficial support for some image and archive files, and somehow I managed not to show the Library - but it’s what you expect. It’s easier to show the functions of the Kobo than describe them, so watch this brief video of a few normal uses of the device to get a feel for how it responds to touch. Lacks the bells and whistles of Amazon’s Kindle services.Not really a better reading experience than other devices (though not a worse).Touchscreen elements quick to respond (i.e.Design and quilted back make it a comfortable device to hold.Update: Kobo recently added truly awesome custom fonts.Supports ePub and PDF (and unofficially CBZ, CBR, rtf, HTML, and txt).If you don’t need 3G or the other perks of the Kindle ecosystem, and just want a straightforward e-book reading device, this Kobo could be a good match. Short version: Superficially similar to the new Nook, but the Kobo is perhaps even simpler, and the form factor is slightly more book-like.
