Yeah, I had already found that suggested fix from another source. Unfortunately I went through the suggested procedure of removing the latest version of Digital Editions, installing the older version, and registering that. I then generated the new key file, but still encountered the same error:
Code:
Problem decrypting session key
as before. It was not a Barnes and Noble EPUB book; it is one I just recently purchased from Sony. So unless there is something else I’m doing wrong I guess I am out of luck. Thanks for your attempt to help though.
Slight rant. I actually have no problem with DRM as a means to protect intellectual property rights to prevent others distributing free copies of copyright material. What I object to is that if I buy an ebook from Sony I can view that on a
Sony ebook viewer, but not on any other device. So if I replace my Sony with, say a
Kindle, I have to buy the same book again. If this keeps up with each ebook viewer manufacturer having a proprietary format for ebooks that can only be viewed on their device it will severely restrict the growth for all.
