Adobe digital editions is unnecessarily difficult to use. It doesn't have to look like a library it just has to work. I cannot seem to open a book or change the list on the shelf. I want to change the order of the list and cannot do that. Listen guys just make it easier. Highlight your choice, select it and voila open it...and start reading.
? I downloaded a book and can't open it ---then all the way on the right side of the page it says missing. How is it missing? It is on my list.
someone please Help.
Thank you

Don't panic! Things aren't that bad....
We all expect programs to work in a certain way, based on what we think
they should do and how they should do it. BUT - we're users, not
programmers, so what THEY think is what WE have to work with. So, how hard
a program is to use has a lot to do with the differences in viewpoint are
between the programmers and you. You can ease the pain by reading the HELP
section in ADE (F1 key from Library view), which has explanations of how it
works.
You can change the display order in Library mode easily. The upper right
corner of the screen has a box that shows you how the library items are
being displayed now. Put your cursor on the small arrow next to it. Click
on that arrow, and a drop-down box will show you what your options are -
all seven of them.
If an ebook is 'missing', it could be that the download process did not
finish correctly. That could happen for a number of reasons beyond the
control of ADE, including disconnection before the ebook was finalized, a
'hiccup' during the download, an issue with the ebook's data and other not
so common problems. Try deleting the title from your Library and
downloading the ebook again. That's all I can suggest, because I haven't
found a way to 'fix' that situation without doing another download.

I tried that but only had 3 choices.....open, delete and sometig else I can't see right now. anyway...programmers should lie writers consider wh0 they are writing for. Some of us, (and who are people who read most?Oldsters, invalids, those who are not physically active) are stay at home and older and not so computer savvy. If your program is too convoluted for lots of people , your product will not get used and your company will not make any money. Your product will fall by the waside infavor of more easily used programs.
I will work it out because I am not the type to give up. But I will not enjoy it. Thanks for your help.
