MACSWEEP Adobe Digital Editions is such a load of garbage...!!! The interface is very unintuitive. Looks like they took a windows application and brought it over to the Mac. The Page-Forward and Backward buttons are at the bottom of the window and are upward and downward -- that is to say vertically oriented. The natural way would be at the top and horizontally oriented. Clicking on the scroll bar has no more effect that clicking on the up/down scroll buttons, and to make matters worse the scroll buttons are Windows-like in that they are at the top and bottom of the window with no option to put them both on the bottom in a Mac-like fashion. The Adobe Digital Editions window will no remember it's position from one launch to the next. So, at each launch the user has to resize it. It also does not remember what size the document was last time. It starts out full-page, which may be fine on a low resolution screen. The only reason to use this junky piece of software is DRM and encrypted ebooks. And that is the ONLY reason I use it. If someone, anyone, knows of a better alternative that will handle DRM and encrypted PDF and maybe other ebook formats, please give a response here and a recommendation. (Version 1.7.1) |
