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?
