Adobe Digital Editions for IPad?

I frequently review books for an online book digest. Publishers are increasingly distributing galley proofs digitally, most often using the Adobe Digital Editions app, which seems to be compatible with every kind of ebook reader....except the IPad. I haven't found an IPad version at the app store, and I don't have a Kindle or a Nook or any of those devices that read Adobe's DRM-protected files, and so am forced to non-portably read these galleys on my IMac. Anyone know if an IPad DE app is in the offing? Or failing that, a workaround? (I tried using Txtr, which claims it can read DE files. Not.)

Incidentally, you do know that you can buy kindle or Nook apps for your ipad? I was assuming you wanted a DE-specific app.
EDIT Actually, those apps are free--you just pay for what you buy through them, if that helps you any.
Incidentally, O'Reilly, my publisher, uses PDF for real galley purposes, although they do create epub editions of their books for distribution. You might want to ask the publishers you work with if there's another format available.

  • Is there an adobe digital edition for windows rt

    is there an adobe digital editions for windows RT

    Not as such.  However there are a few apps that will let you read DRM books.
    Check out in the reader store
    DL Reader: that one has worked best for me
    Overdrive: could be good for library books, sometimes stroppy about getting your Adobe ID registration working
    DReader: I couldn't get it to behave, but might be worth trying for you

  • How to transfer an eBook from Adobe Digital Edition to iPad Mini ?

    How do I move an eBook in PDF format, which is now sitting in the "Library"  of "Adobe Digital Editions" on my PC to my iPad Mini ? Appreciate your help !

    1. Download "Adobe Digital Editions" from App store.
    For transferring books to ipad, you can try either of two things:
    - Email your book and download it on your ipad, only make sure authorization credentials is same on your ipad
    or
    -Connect your ipad to your machine
    -Open itunes
    -Select ipad.
    -Select Apps
    -Scroll below to File Sharing
    -Then select ADE
    -Click on Add and select the file that you want to transfer
    now, open ADE app on ipad, tap on leftmost button (3 line), and select refresh.
    Your book will appear in ADE on ipad.
    only make sure authorization credentials is same on your ipad
    Thanks

  • Trouble with Adobe Digital Editions for Mac - please Help

    I just got a Kobo Glo and am trying to download/install the Adobe Digital Editions software on my Mac but I am running into issues: (I not very versed in computers so I hope someone can walk me through my issues slowly)
    I tried to download the Adobe Digital Editions software and got a screen saying installation was complete, I appear to have Adobe Digital Editions 2.0 and Adobe Digital Editions icons in my applications folder, when I go to open the Adobe Digital Editions 2.0 Icon I am taken to a "bookshelves" page with a "Getting Started with Adobe Digital Editions" booklet in it.
    I do not know how to open the Adobe Digital Editions actual software so I can access the "set up assistant" to authorize my computer??????????????? It does not seem to want to open on it's own and I have no idea how to find it.  I do have an Adobe ID.
    I thank you in advance for any help you are able to provide. Once again I am not very computer literate so please be very specific.

    When you have ADE (digital editions) open with  "bookshelves" page with a "Getting Started with Adobe Digital Editions" booklet in it,
    enter cmd-shift-U, or menu/Help/Authorize Computer.
    That will ask for your Adobe ID and password and authorize the computer.
    Once that has been done you shouldn't need to do it again.
    Sometimes you do need to if things go wrong, but you certainly shouldn't have to do it at all regularly.
    When that has been done, plug in the Kobo; it should show up in the left pane of ADE.
    Use "menu/Help/Authorize Device" and that will authorize your Kobo with the Adobe ID from the Mac.
    You can then copy books by drag-dropping onto the Kobo within ADE

  • ADOBE DIGITAL EDITIONS FOR MAC ??

    I just downloaded adobe digital editions and my macbook air and it keeps quitting unexpectedly when i try to read a book i just downloaded from the library. It wont stay open for more than a few seconds. Please help!

    I found an answer to a similar question on the Forum from TTWTT (TTMTT), who posted a link to download versions 2 and 3 of Digital Editions at Adobe Digital Editions downloads (Adobe Digital Editions downloads). I had tried find these downloads on Adobe's far from helpful website with total lack of success. Version 3 seems to be working on Mavericks; I have no idea if version 3 will work on Yosemite.  From other threads in this forum, it sounds like Adobe Digital Editions does not work very well (if at all) on Yosemite.
    Whether Adobe is working is a totally different question.
    So far it appears that Adobe Digital Editions 4.02 is a disaster, best avoided.

  • Updated my Adobe Digital Editions for my Nook.Now it won't load books onto my Nook.Help!

    I recently updated my Adobe Digital Editions, but now I can't load my recently checked out books onto my Nook. I try but get a red circle with a slash through it when I drag the book to the Nook icon and it doesn't work. Do you know what I can do?
    Thanks

    I tried to email the developer (Canada) but the email for technical support is not a good email. My email got returned to me undeliverable? Not sure what to do next? I also want to get the game going again cause I made purchases to get more coins to play the game & now I can't even use it? Very frustrating!!!

  • Adobe Digital Editions for Surface RT

    I would like to purchase a Microsoft Surface tablet to replace my netbook. The Surface runs the Windows 8 RT operating system, which is different from Windows 8. Executable files (such as the Adobe Digital Editions installation EXE) cannot be run on RT -- apps must be downloaded from the Microsoft Windows App Store. Will Adobe make a version of Adobe Digital Editions that will run on the Surface RT?
    Thanks,
    Cara

    H'mmm. 
    I just checked out the Windows8 Metro (what are we meant to call it?) specific version of Overdrive.
    I didn't check it on a tablet but on the Metro side of full Windows 8; I guess it should be the same, but ???
    I did manage to register it with my AdobeID (charms-Settings-Accounts).
    I then found that it would not open DRM .epub files from the main part of the PC (library or bought).
    However, when I opened a .acsm file for a library DRM ebook, it did work
    Trying to open my (only) bought DRM ebook using the .acsm file,
    it keeps saying 'system busy, this title will be added after the current process has finished'
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    Other advice indicates that it is meant to be able to ... eg from http://www.koorong.com/info/ebooks/deviceadvice.jsp
    Windows 8 RT Tablet:
    Getting Started: 
    You will need to install an app capable of reading DRM-protected ePub files on your Windows 8 tablet device. We recommend Overdrive Media Console available for free from the Microsoft App Store.
    You will also need to enter your Adobe ID into Overdrive which can be done through the 'Accounts' option in the Settings menu. Swipe in from the right of the screen to open the menu and select 'Settings'. Select 'Accounts' and then 'Authorize'. Enter your Adobe ID and password.

    Hi Jeff and Gibert.. I had the same issue but knew that my system prefs were fine... I found the workaround... just below is a link that will take you to a page to do a manual download... both for Mac and Windows.  I did it last night and was able to open my files properly in Adobe Digital Edition.  Hope that helps!

    Since the new library gives you the same message log into another user account on your Mac and see if you can run iPhoto without getting that message.  If you get that message there also a reinstall of iPhoto seems indicated. To do so you'll have to delete the current application and all files with "iPhoto" in the file name with either a .PKG or .BOM extension that reside in the HD/Library/Receipts folder and from the /var/db/receipts/  folder,
    Click to view full size
    Then install iPhoto from the disk it came on originally and apply all available updates to it.

  • Adobe digital editions for sony reader

    I have successfully partitioned my hard drive, loaded a new copy of Windows Vista Home Basic (several times) but the Digital Editions software necessary to use the Reader will not install on the widows partition - I get an error message every time - "corrupt file digital editions". All drivers etc seemed to load from bootcamp without any problem. Help??

    Since the issue is not really Mac related but related to Sony's app and Windows, you should really post your question on a Windows forum such as the ones here:
