How to transfer an ebook from a computer to an ebook device

You’ll need to have an app called Adobe Digital Editions (“ADE”) installed on your computer and device. It’s likely that ADE is already installed on your device, but that’s not true of all devices, so you should check to make sure your device is compatible.

If your device is compatible with ADE…

First download the ebook to your computer

  1. Install Adobe Digital Editions (“ADE”) on your computer. You need this free software in order to unlock and read your ebook. “Authorize” Adobe Digital Editions: With the program open on your computer,

    1. click Help >
    1. Authorize >
    1. select Adobe ID as your eBook vendor and then >
    1. type in your Adobe user name and password, or create an Adobe ID if you don’t have one.
  2. Return to eBooksherpa.com and click Download next to the ebook you want to download.

(You only need to do the first two steps once. In future, just click “Download”.)

Then transfer the ebook from the computer to the e-reader

  1. Connect the e-reader device via USB to your computer. Do this step before opening ADE. (Otherwise, the application can’t see the device.)
  2. Then launch ADE on your computer.
  3. ADE will detect the device and it will be listed on the left side of the ADE window.
  4. Click on the ebook that you want to transfer and drag it across to the image of your device on the left.

The eBook is now transferred, and you can read it on your e-reader device.
