I just downloaded two books from Google Play Books. I cannot transfer them to my Nook.
When I try to open the ASCM file in Adobe Digital Editions, it says:
Unable to download
Error getting License. License Server Communication Problem:
E_ADEPT_DOCUMENT_TOO_SHORT:
Thanks for messing up my evening, whoever is responsible for this.
I even downloaded Adobe Digital Editions for my Android, my Desktop and Android are both authorized using the same Apple ID, the new 'How to get started' ebook from downloading the app appeared in both my Desktop library and my Android library, but the ebooks that are on the desktop library have not appeared on the Android. I definitely have the authorization correct, but it's not working both-ways.
There also doesn't seem to be any way to open the ebook I purchased from the Google Play Store within the Adobe Digital Editions android app. So, for my needs, the app is totally useless (no books from my library, and no books from my device). I just don't get it, what's the app for? So even if I did get the synchronization to work both ways, I still will not be able to achieve my goal of purchasing an ebook from Google Play Books and reading it on a device with a decent battery life.

Necessary rant: Yep, so, Google should stop using Adobe for DRM and roll their own, it would be a lot better. I probably would be able to manage my library online and not with some 32-bit Windows application when I'm a Linux user.
