Operation Manual

12. Authentication/Device activation
In order to download paid content, you will need to authenticate your
Cybook Orizon.
The authentication process takes place when you try to reach the eBooks
store. After taping the Bookstore link on the Home page and getting
connected via Wi-Fi, you will be asked to create an account. This account
creation process will authenticate your device and enable you to buy
encrypted (DRM protected) content. This process will bind your device to a
unique ID called Adobe ID.
12.1 DRM principle
DRM (Digital Right Management) is a software protection which encrypts
downloaded file with a unique identifier (ID). This ID is attached to your
device. To summarize, Files downloaded from your Orizon can be read only
on your Orizon and in any other peripheral with the same ID (AdobeID).
12.2 Adobe ID/Adobe DRM
The DRM system used by Orizon bookstore has been developed by Adobe
(ACS4: Adobe Content Server 4). The ID used to authenticate your device is
thus called Adobe ID. Adobe ID is in fact an email/password that you provide
during Account creation at Bookeen.
12.3 Account creation
While creating your account, you will have two options.
Option 1: You don't have any Adobe ID. Adobe ID is thus created
automatically based on your email and password given for Orizon
Account Creation.
•
Option 2: You already have an Adobe ID, thus you will be prompted to
enter it separately from your Orizon Account information.
•
Note: Once your account has been created and your device activated, the creation
page won't appear again. In order to authenticate your device with another account,
please contact Bookeen customer service.
12.4 Is my device already activated?
You can see if your device is already activated by tapping Settings>About.
If activated, Adobe ID is displayed in this messagebox.
