Adobe Digital Editions 2.0 is not bad

Skilled Workman Posted on by

As I often do, I found out this morning that I have been recommending false information. I’ve alway hated Adobe Digital Editions, Adobe’s free ebook reader. It trashed the type and the images. I always recommended deleting it and not allowing it on your computer. This morning I discover that the 2.0 version is a great improvement.

Of course, it’s been out since Sept 2012 & I never noticed

I’m surprised that I haven’t heard of it. Has no one else noticed it either?

Anyway, it now reads embedded fonts. Interestingly, it does not show listed fonts. I made an ePUB for iBooks with several iBook fonts specified. ADE 2.0 appears to be showing the book in Palatino/Helvetica, not Cochin/Gill Sans as specified.

The images are also better. All in all is a much improved piece of ereader software.

  1. Someone at Adobe needs to call Apple. The 2.0 ADE installer would not install because OS X thinks it comes from an “unidentified developer.” I disabled that restriction in Security preferences and it installed fine. Text on it doesn’t look as good on screen as on my iPad 3, but that’s a tough standard to beat.

    I still don’t like the books-in-a-library model for an ereader. That’s fine for a mobile device where documents are typically hidden. But on my Mac, I’d rather it just opened documents like Preview rather than store them in a library where they’re soon lost. But Adobe’s reader is mostly for DRMed ebooks and they must need a library.

  3. Hi all,
    Please mention the details which are required to print epub file using adobe digital reader 2.0

  4. Hi Rohan,

    I’m sorry, but why would I want to print an ePUB? I have the PDF to print the book from. With an ePUB, there are no pages or anything like that. I’m afraid I do not understand your question. Could you rephrase it please?

Whatcha thinkin'?
