Adobe have effectively "stolen my property" my e-books (mostly Wiley Publications) were originally purchased from Amazon and Adobe in PDF not digital editions. I bought them in PDF because that's the way I wanted them so I could use read aloud or print extracts. And along came Adobe who entered my home without my authority and put a padlock around my bookshelf, only the threat of legal action  got my books back (Both Amazon and Adobe don't do redownloads for previously purchased books, and neither do Wiley) following the installation of Vista when DRM refused to authorize my books claiming it wasn't the original computer. All I had done was upgrade to Vista.

Now the nightmare is back, I had to reinstall my operating system due to failure of essential parts of the software and again Adobe have decided to nick my property again all my WILEY publications have been lost.

I buy NO Adobe, Amazon, Wiley products because if I am swindled I don't get swindled again. Long stretches in jail for the crooks running these companies!!!!!!

This is truely the worse reader I have used on my pod, hands down bar none, all comments are true here and adobe can do a better job and should, they are getting tax payers money and  for that providing a really bad product and should be both embarrassed as well as ashamed.

After using the apple reader and the kindle reader then using this you just have to say are you kidding me?

My two cents

I think we should revoke your right to be in society too.

ADE does a job according to the requirements of the Digital Millenium

Copyright Act of 2000.  It's core processor for digital rights managed

content is 'certified' as conforming to what publishers and resellers

require under that act.  If you went to another software suite, such as

Bluefire Reader or Overdrive, you will encounter roughly the same result.

ADE does have design limitations.  PDF files seem to suffer from those

limitations the most, and that's odd because Adobe originated this prime

format for electronic documents.  There are the usual issues relating to

the way ADE interacts with ereaders and sources for downloads - but you'll

run into many if not all of the same issues with other software.  Amazon

has managed to streamline the ebook experience by designing its Kindle

platform to use subsets of the core code structure, but there's no way to

download ebooks to a Kindle except via Amazon at the time I write this.

B&N has done something similar with the Nook, but at least left enough of

the core code to allow other edocument software to interact with Nooks.

Finally, if you don't understand the hardware and software requirements for

using ADE with sources and ereaders, you'll make assumptions - and an ***

out of you and me.

Don't 'waist' your time swearing at ADE.  Do something else.
