Adobe Digital Editions for Mac OS 1.7.2 An engaging new way to read and manage eBooks and other digital publications.
Adobe Digital Editions 2.0 is released and available for immediate download. This version includes major improvements for accessibility over Digital Editions 1.7, and is designed to provide greater access to both protected and unprotected electronic books in the EPUB format for Windows and Mac users. Digital Editions 2.0 utilizes accessibility features on Windows and Mac OS to provide access for users who are blind or who have visual difficulties, including support for high contrast modes and support for resizing of book text. Digital Editions also offers keyboard support which is dramatically enhanced over version 1.7. Screen reader users can use one of several tools to read books with Digital Editions.
On Mac OSX VoiceOver support is provided, although one limitation at present is that book content can only be read one page at a time rather than as a continuous stream. On Windows, users can choose between JAWS, NVDA, and Window-Eyes. GW-Micro provides Window-Eyes support via an app – to get the app for Window-Eyes users should go to the Window-Eyes control panel, press ALT-A to get to the App Menu, and select AppGet.
When the list of available apps is displayed, Digital Editions can be found in the “Program Enhancements” group. Adobe Digital Editions supports books protected by Adobe’s DRM (Digital Rights Management) solution. This allows users to access books available from libraries which use the Overdrive service, as well as those books purchased from vendors such as Barnes & Noble, Kobo, Waterstones, and other booksellers.
Adobe Digital Editions 2.0 is free and available for download at. Will the local pages be updated to provide access to the new 2.0 version? For example on the dutch localized page still the 1.72 version is provided. Will there be a new help page? Lot of customers are reading on devices now adays and have low tech experience and need help on this product in a localized help version. The English version seems to miss out the ‘help’ page. Will it be back or included in a new help section?
I really like the acrobat reader help section because of the pictures an the clear help documentation. Some pages need to be updated to the new installer of 2.0, like the pages: Top issues Install Digital Editions Windows 7, Vista, XP: Install Digital Editions Mac OS X: Thanks in advance! Happy e-reading. I am a librarian who helps patrons with using our Overdrive service. Installing this upgrade is a tortuous experience; why on Earth did you decide to have people download a zip file? Many of our patrons will have no idea what to do with that, so I expect a great increase in requests for help. The old installer was very smooth and easy for non-computer-savvy patrons.
I’m very disappointed in this change to the installer. It seems really lazy on your part, and not what I would expect from Adobe. With that said, once installed, the upgrade seems to add some useful features. We sell secure Adobe ebooks via our online bookstore and have seen a rise in technical support requests due to the installation process of the 2.0 ADE version. Please, please replace the zip file with an executable file, similar to the previous version so the installation process is smoother.
Many of our customers do not know how to extract files from a zip file or even what a zip file is, and it caused a lot of frustration and even cancelled orders. Seems with a product as popular as ADE, there would be a smooth installation process in place. It’s very disappointing. Used Open Library loans with older version of ADE and it worked great.
Was forced to update to 2.0 and now nothing but problems. Most epub loans will not load instead I get the message “No record for this loan is found on this machine; it may have been returned” I have removed all files, reinstalled the program, checked authorization etc. This happens the FIRST time I try to download a book from the Open LIbrary or any other public library program.
Tried on different computers, not a firewall problem, etc. Very angry that Adobe tried to charge me $68 just to answer the question as to why their own system was not working. ADE 2.0 does not work with public library loans, BLIO epub or loans from Internet Archives and Open Library.
The system is deeply flawed and no tech support is available. After three days of fighting the system, I uninstalled 2.0 and reinstalled an earlier version.
I think that it is really irresponsible for Adobe to create an update that does not work then refuse to provide any support to combat its own flaws. I contacted tech support and the provider wanted to charge $68.00 to attempt to answer my concerns. True this is a free program HOWEVER, it is also a program required by numerous public library loan systems for epub titles and for Adobe to place library patrons in the position of not being able to read the titles they have checked out and laying that problem at the feet of librarians is, in my opinion, completely unethical. Same problem as many of the above. I purchased a new laptop & downloaded Adobe Digital Editions so I could continue to borrow ebooks from the library to read on my nook.
First of all, I had a horrible time trying to download library books to ADE using Overdrive. FINALLY, got the library books loaded to ADE but when I try to drag & drop them to my Nook, I get a message saying “No persmission to copy book”. There is no option to transfer – just copy.
I thought maybe the nook needed to be authorized but when I right click, it shows as already authorized. So I erased the authorization then tried to reauthorize it. When I do, I get a message saying that the computer is authorized without an Adobe ID. I tried to authorize it with an Adobe ID, but everytime I try it says that I’m using an ID that has been used to authorized another computer (my old laptop).
And it won’t let me create a new ID using the same email address. When I check the support forums, it tells me I can authorize multiple devices. When I originally purchased my nook, I had NO problems using Overdrive or ADE to borrow library books. Not sure what’s going on with this new edition, but I now have several library books downloaded that I can apparently can only read on my laptop – which sort of makes my 3 e-readers useless. At the library where I work, we were initially unable to pre-install adobe digital editions on each of our public computers because of the need to authorize each device (there was some sort of limit on the number of devices you could authorize per computer, and we had more Nooks than whatever that limit was). Do you think with this new edition that would no longer be an issue? The other software we have installed on the computers wipe them clean when they restart, so one person’s downloads wouldn’t still show in ADE once a new user got on It would be very helpful to have ADE on all of our computers and then if we loan one of our Nooks, or if a patron brings in there own and needs assistance, we don’t have to re-install ADE everytime.
Thanks for any help you can give me! First off, great product! I am using the tool to download to my Samsung tablet I am trying to get some feedback regarding best practices of placement of ebooks once I download them. My version, (1.7.2) has import and storage directories in the ebook directory.
New ebooks flow into my download directory. If i try to import from the download directory and then move to storage or import directory, ebook can no longer find the book. If i move directly to the import directory, it gets confusing.
4.5.8 / April 10, 2018; 8 months ago ( 2018-04-10), Website Adobe Digital Editions (abbreviated ADE) is an reader software program from, built initially (1.x version) using. It is used for acquiring, managing, and reading, digital newspapers, and other digital publications.
The software supports, (through the nonproprietary file type specification) and Flash-based content. It implements a proprietary scheme of ('DRM') which, since the version 1.5 release in May 2008, allows document sharing among multiple devices and user authentication via an Adobe ID. ADE is a successor to Adobe eBook Reader. Windows and OS X versions of Adobe Digital Editions were released on June 19, 2007.
Previous versions of the software required version 9.0 of. Starting with version 2.0, however, which relies on 3.5 on Windows, Flash Player is no longer supported. Adobe initiated development of a version of ADE in 2007; however, this has not had any beta release or any formal updates. Contents. Digital rights management Adobe Digital Editions uses the proprietary ADEPT (Adobe Digital Experience Protection Technology) scheme, which is also implemented on some, including and many devices, but not. The software locks content to up to six machines and allows the user to view the content on each of them. (B&N) ebooks are protected with a variant of ADEPT.
In March 2009, the author of the blog i♥cabbages announced that they had broken the scheme. When viewing an ebook, Adobe Digital Editions by default stores the ebook locally as files on Windows machines. These files can be copied and handled like other files, but they cannot be opened except with Adobe Digital Editions.
Adobe's website has virtually no information on ADEPT except on its trademark page and a statement that OverDrive is compatible. Data collection concern On 6 October 2014, reported in The Digital Reader that Adobe Digital Editions version 4 ('ADE4') was sending extensive information about ebooks back to Adobe, including ebooks read by a user as well as ebooks stored on the same machine but not opened in ADE4. This was confirmed by Sean Gallagher, writing in Ars Technica and by others. However, no one else has confirmed the report that books never opened in ADE nor in the ADE library are logged. Hoffelder reported that the information collected included 'which ebooks that have been opened, which pages were read, and in what order. Including the title, publisher, and other metadata for the book'. He also reported that all this data was sent in clear text—that is, not protected by any form of encryption.
This would make it easy for a third party to read this information. This data was collected for borrowed library books and for books NOT protected by any form of DRM.
Hoffelder suggested that such a practice might violate various privacy laws. The (EFF) made a similar suggestion. Adobe responded that their practice was justified by their license agreement and denied collecting data on any book not currently opened for reading.
Specifically, they stated: 'All information collected from the user is collected solely for purposes such as license validation and to facilitate the implementation of different licensing models by publishers. Additionally, this information is solely collected for the eBook currently being read by the user and not for any other eBook in the user’s library or read/available in any other reader. User privacy is very important to Adobe, and all data collection in Adobe Digital Editions is in line with the end user license agreement and the Adobe Privacy Policy.'
Gary Price, writing in (an online publication sponsored by ), views the matter as of serious concern, but sees it as another instance of concerns that have been present but largely unaddressed for years. The article also posts Adobe's response to the issue. In October 2014, Adobe released version 4.0.1 of the software, which sends data to Adobe in a secure transmission (using HTTPS). See also.
