Adobe Digital Editions allows you to transfer items from or to a supported eReader device.
Connect the supported eReader device to your computer and launch Digital Editions. Digital Editions automatically detects the presence of your device. Both Digital Editions and the device must be authorized to be able to transfer protected content to and from the device.
Unprotected content can be transferred to and from the device without authorizing either the device or Digital Editions. However Adobe strongly advises authorizing Digital Editions as it gives you content portability for your protected books, whether on Digital Editions or the supported device. After connection, the device appears in the library section.
You can transfer items to and from the device just as you do with bookshelves in your library. You can read books that are on your device or your own computer.
Note:
Do not disconnect the device while transferring library items to or from your computer.
