Adobe® Digital Editions is an engaging way to read and manage eBooks and other digital publications. It is built from the ground up as a lightweight, rich Internet application (RIA). Digital Editions works online and offline, and supports both PDF and EPUB based content.
Adobe Labs features the beta version of Digital Editions 1.5. The beta is an opportunity for customers to test and provide feedback to Adobe on new features and compatibility with their digital publications.
You should be aware that this beta release includes a new version of DRM (Digital Rights Management) protection. If you plan on using Digital Editions for mission critical work, we recommend that, if possible, you continue to use Digital Editions 1.0 until Digital Editions version 1.5 has reached commercial release status (at which time existing Digital Editions users will be automatically prompted to update).
