Notes on using Adobe Digital Editions
Each Adobe ID supports only 6 devices.
When the eReader is restored to the default settings, ALL DRM
activation records and data (including DRM eBooks purchased)
will be erased from the eReader. You are required to authorise
the device with your Adobe ID again.
When the number of authorised devices has exceeded the
allowable amount, you will come across the following error
message:
E_ACT_TOO_MANY_ACTIVATIONS
