What does anyone know about Adobe Digital Editions? I was thinking
of trying it on my Mac, but did not install it when I saw that it
downloads and installs from the web. I like to be the one to
install/uninstall programs on my computer. If I install it will I
have problems uninstalling it? Is it worth the trouble or should I
avoid it? I was going to use it to read ebooks from PROJECT
GUTENBERG. Should I just go with the old plain text or HTML instead?
Thanks,
It is an application written in Adobe AIR. To run it you will have to
install all the AIR stuff and that will not be easy to uninstall. AIR
is Adobe's system for taking Flash and turning it into something that
looks like a stand alone application. It is rather clunky and has an
unfortunate user interface. Take a look at it to get a good idea of
why Steve Jobs is blocking Flash on iPhones.
