"Garbage - Worse than useless."
Version: Adobe Digital Editions 2.0
Pros
Installing and then deleting gives you something to do
Cons
Buggy, refuses to open ASCM files
Summary
Version 1.7 was OK, not the greatest, not user friendly, difficult to use initially, but it shines when compared to version 2.0. This latest version offers nothing to recommend it. Never opened an ascm file for me: error messages say my device is 'not registered' (when I've been using it with v1.7 for about 2 years) or there is a missing or corrupt file, when my procedure was the same as it had been with the earlier version. Always some reason why it is unable to do the job it was supposed to do. Atotal waste.

"Simple and useful"
Version: Adobe Digital Editions 2.0
Pros
Simplicity of use (imediatelly understood UI)
Cons
Better on larger screens (not that great on my 18,5 inch display)
You have to have an Adobe account (free)Summary
Fast, easy and free way to view your ebooks on PC

"Major flaw:Broken for more than one user on a computer"
Version: Adobe Digital Editions 2.0
Pros
Looks nice.
Cons
Not very robust.
Summary
If you have multiple users on the same computer, ADE will not recognize plugged in eBook readers; eBook bookshelves disappear. (no permutation of plugging and restarting the program fixes this.)
-
"Too many limitations."
Version: Adobe Digital Editions 2.0
Pros
None that justify using this program rather than Calibre.
Cons
Customizable options are few. NG for PDF.
Summary
Following another posting's recommendation, I tried Calibre. Infinitely superior.

"A good epub reader but still no good for pdf"
Version: Adobe Digital Editions 2.0
Pros
I like the new theme. For epub there is good flipping of the 'view' pages.
Cons
Even the manual is in epub and not pdf. Shame adobe!!
Even the C-Net screen view is out of dateSummary
May as well stay with Calibre.
C-Net. Can't even select the version (2) for this review.
