I reject your apology. It deserves to be recognized as the steaming pile that it is. A decade later, nothing has changed.

Honestly. Reading this at least makes me feel better.
I'm using this as my only copy of the book, and at this point I would be happy if it let me scroll faster than my grandma after smoking a phat G of purple knurple straight to the dome.
It moves an inch at a time every 15 seconds, then freezes.
I was excited to find they had an iPhone app, alas, if I try to flip to a certain page the viewer shuts of completely, and if I search more than once the app completely crashes.
Honestly well done Adobe, it was worth it for the lulz. My money spent on the book however, most certainly was not.

I agree. I can't stand this piece of crap either. It's overly slow, scrolling sucks, zooming sucks and all of these make it really hard to find what you're looking for. On top of that, when you type in a page number, it is like 15 pages off, forcing you to scroll up or down. And the scrolling really is the worst I've ever seen, it literally takes like 5 seconds just to scroll to the next page. And that's absolutely ridiculous. Sometimes our professor will switch pages in the book a lot, and by the time I can find the problem she's already on another page. Incredibly frustrating. Do yourself a favor and stay away from Adobe Digital Editions like the plague. I won't buy an eBook again if I have to use this stupid Digital Editions crap.

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!!!!!!

I agree that Digital Edition is really poorly made - imagine a real paperback book being so complicated to open and with such a bad non intuitive userinterface? We can do so many things today - I wish the programmers of the world would get that interface is the most important thing of every tool!!!

I just bought and downloaded a legal textbook in ADE.
I also downloaded the iPhone app so I can study during flights.
the text is so small it's illegible and trying to zoom is nigh on impossible (it becomes difficult to centre or scroll or turn the page).
this is the worst book app I have ever encountered.
who wrote this steaming pile of sh1t of an app?
What an absolute rip off
I will never buy another book that is confined to this app again, it really is beyond belief that in this day and age a company can publish an app that is this useless

Here it is 2022 and this piece of garbage lives. I wish I could be more forgiving as it is my nature, but this abomination should just be removed from downloads and app stores and there should be no place for it in a professional environment or as a tool that schools use.

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 agree. Navigating is awful. On my Mac, scrolling virtually does not work, it is incredibly slow and choppy. It is the Adobe software because I'm on OSX 10.7 with a quad core i5 and 32 Gigs of RAM. Scrolling works great on my 8 year old windows XP machine though. Something is very very wrong with that. Also, what's the point of being able to highlight and take notes in my study book if they don't sync to my other devises? Also, there is no practical solution for the iPhone or iPad. I ditched the laptop years ago and I'm stuck studying and taking notes at home on my iMac that doesn't scroll. There also is no feature to click to the next page, I have to type in the page number. Worst software I have ever used. I can't desire if I'm more upset with Adobe or with the Publisher for not providing the book through Apple, Amazon, or Kindle.

I agree that ADE is a poor bit of software in many ways; but not going into that more here.
Apple and Kindle are both more restrictive than Abobe DRM,
though more convenient if your usage pattern and devices happen to fit their limitations.
Also, there is no practical solution for the iPhone or iPad.
Have you tried the Bluefire app? I haven't found any books that ADE will read on the PC but Bluefire won't read on the iPad.
Transferring books to iPad is a bit awkward (iTunes, Dropbox or email work),
but that is because of Apple's absurd limitations on the way transferring files work rather than a fault of ADE or Bluefire.

Since there are really no helpful comments on how to fix this issue posted here, even though it is old, I have found a solution. I am only replying since someone else will probably Google this problem in the near future and read through the whole forum, hence how I arrived here today. My solution was to download ePub converter (5-day free trial) and this application will allow you to convert your .acsm file into PDF, Kindle reader format (suggested; awesome reader w/ useful features) and about 3 or so more different file formats. There is more information listed on the application website, which you can access here:
http://www.ebook-converter.com/133-acsm-to-epubpdf.htm
I hope this fixes future problems as I'm sure everyone who has posted here no longer has this problem. BTW, that first post was F***ING hilarious! Definitely the red-headed step child of Adobe products.
