Is there a Linux version of Adobe Digital Editions available ?

I use Linux Mint as my operating system and I would like to read e-books. However I do not see a download for any Linux Version of ADE. Is this available ? Is there another way to read e-books in Linux ?
Thanks for the answers.

I'm not aware of any versions of ADE that run on LINUX machines. Try going
to the website for Bluefire Reader and Overdrive to see if they have
versions that would work?

I have an older version of Adobe Digital Editions (around 3 years old) and was very happy with it.
Then I had problems with my Kobo Reader and asked a friend who works in IT to assist. She could not fix the Kobo but she messed up my Addobe. She downloaded version three and I have an account and a password - was not able to transfer my books from my reader to version three (and I don't like the lay-out - I would prefer to stay with the old version as I also loose all my download date info..)
But all the books I have bought over the last three years are in the old Adobe Digital and I cannot access them any more. When I use it I get the message "that the document is licensed to a different account. I can't even open the books on my computer.
When I go to my Kobo library, I cannot also not open my books and get the message "this doc is protected by adobe digital rights management and is not currently authorized for use with your adobe. please sign in with your authorized adobe id and try again"
I believe the problem is that I do not seem to have a digital id for my old adobe or that the Kobo is not in sync with it anymore.
can you please help me - going on vacation in three days and cannot go without books.

Please authorize ADE 3 with same credentials that you used with older version of ADE

How do I open a acsm file with the newest version of Adobe Digital Editions

I purchased an ebook that was delivered in the the Adobe .acsm format. When I downloaded it, I specified that the Adobe Digital Editions as the app to open the file. ADE launched, loaded my old books but the new book was not loaded. I also tried to load the book from the ADE, but the book shows up as a grayed out item that I cannot select. I am running the book reader on a Mac running OS X 10.5.8 and have downloaded the lastest version of the ADE. Has anyone else had a similar problem? Thanks, Yvonne

I'm having the same problem. I have the latest Adobe Reader version, have Mac OS X 10.6.4, and I cannot open any .acsm file-old or new. I've also tried to load the book from the ADE, but the book shows up as a grayed out item that I cannot select. I've tried everything, but to no avail. I don't have any solutions, but wanted to let you know you're not alone in this problem.

French version of Adobe Digital Editions to download

Hello, How do I get to the French version of Adobe Digital Editons to download? I have the English version but I have to get a French version for someone else. Thank you.

Or do the settings of the pc itself affect which language is installed? Thank you.

Why is there a Linux version of Adobe Creative Suite?

If you can be based on Ubuntu or RedHat. I'm using Adobe CS since from the beginning of the CS and I think before, I still do not understand Why there is no CS in linux?. I do not know who to address the question but would like to have an answer because there are so many designers, artists, architects and others. They would be willing to buy Adobe CS on Linux. And not to mention that many also do not want to buy Apple and much less Windows.
Thanks

I wish there was an answer from Adobe on this post. I realize this might not be completely a simple thing, but I think I am probably one of many that would happily move to a linux platform if Adobe Photoshop and Lightroom were available for it. Don't get me wrong I've run stable machines on both Windows Vista and Windows 7, and have not had virus problems. I'd go to Linux for the fact that it will use the hardware I have much better than Windows does. That makes a big difference when running large batches of images in Lightroom or dealing with large files in Photoshop. I don't want to move to a Mac because I'm not interested in the prices or the closed (captive audience) platform.
There are a lot of people out there who think the freebie alternatives will draw Photoshop users away, but the fact of the matter is that most Photoshop users are willing to pay good money for an application they can depend on. And let's face it, we all want to keep our plugins too, so Nik Software and the whole lot of them would have to follow suit. Either way, for many of us Windows users out there, moving to a stable Linux platform would be the better choice..ONLY if we could bring our most critical apps with us!

Had old version of adobe digital edition how to i get my items moved to my new version just installed

My situation may be different from yours since all mu music is ripped from cd's not bought from iTunes, but I would think the premise is the same.
Doesn't matter what is in your library.
When I moved computers I literally dragged and dropped the music where I wanted it to be. THen when I opened iTunes I imported the files back into iTUnes
This creates a new library with all the same items but you lose a lot of info: Ratings, comments, date added, custom EQ, playlists, etc.
If you simply copy the entire /Music/iTunes/ folder, it is the exact same library, not a new library. No info is lost.

Problems with an older version of Adobe Digital Editions.

When I try to download a book from Kobo, I get this error message: Error geting licence. Licence server getting communication problem. E_LIC_ALREADY _FULFILLED_BY_ANOTHER_USER.
Does anybody know how to fix this or is there a solution.

Do you have a Linux version download of Adobe Digital Editions 2.0 Installers ?

Hi I am running Ubuntu version 13.10, I can't find a version for Linux to download for Adobe Digital Editions.
Is there one that exists ?
Or do I have to go to windows to get this ?
Cheers
Nell

If you look at that thread posted above you will discover that in fact the answer is NO. There is no Linux version of Adobe Digital Editions - there is an OLD Windows version that you can run in Linux using WINE. Adobe Digital Editions sucks. DRM sucks.
From June UK residents will have a legal right to make copies of ebooks for personal use, and 'format shift' these if they so choose, hopefully this will encourage publishers to abandon this hopeless crippled and crippling technology - the analogy I like to use is to imagine if you could only read a paperback if you were wearing a particular pair of glasses.

Is there an Adobe digital Edition version suitable for Booq Verne -android-?

Hi everyone,
I would like to know if I can install a version of Adobe Digital Edition in my Booq Verne, Android based. I've buyed some epub book and all I get is an .acsm or a ashx file that only can be opened with the mentioned software. The ADE doesn't allow me to save the book in another format, as you know.
Thanks in advance for your answers!

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 can I properly and COMPLETELY uninstall Adobe Digital Editions 3.0 from my Mac?

OK, so yeah, I *SHOULD* have known better...
A few months back, against my better judgement and without doing the proper due diligence, I tried installing Adobe Digital Editions 3.0 onto the primary drive of my MacBook Pro (running MacOS 10.6.8).
The tell-tail signs:
PROBLEM #1
While there IS readily available "Tech Specs" documentation for the current Adobe Digital Editions v4.0.1 installer for MacOS (which clearly states "Mac OS X v10.8 or later" is REQUIRED), there is absolutely NO indication or similar documentation for supported system software for PREVIOUS versions of Adobe Digital Editions.
Reference URL:
http://www.adobe.com/support/digitaleditions/downloads.html
PROBLEM #2a
Adobe Digital Editions v3.0 for MacOS comes as an installer (which REQUIRES admin authentication to provide root-level access to your computer).
PROBLEM #2b
Adobe "Digital Editions 3.0 Installer" is FULLY launchable under MacOS 10.6.8 (and the installed application will require MacOS 10.7 or later).
PROBLEM #2c
There is NO associated ("ReadMe" type) support document included on the "ADE_3.0_Installer.dmg" disc image and ZERO integrated documentation within in the installer.
PROBLEM #2d
There is NO Adobe "Digital Editions 3.0" UNinstaller either installed as part of the "Standard" installation package OR currently downloadable from Adobe.com.
PROBLEM #3
Adobe's ONLY MacOS solution to "Uninstall previous versions [prior to the current v4.0] of Adobe Digital Editions for Mac OS" are the following instructions:
It's necessary to have administrator privileges to complete these steps.
1. From your user directory, locate /Applications
2. Drag the digitaleditions1x5 folder to the Trash, and empty the Trash.
Reference URL:
http://helpx.adobe.com/digital-editions/kb/cant-install-digital-editions.html
PROBLEM #4
Adobe's "What are my contact options?" page indicates BOTH "Chat (within 90 days of registration)" and "Forums" as available "Basic Support" options for Adobe "Digital Editions" software for "Download, install, setup" help, however, "Forums" is the ONLY available choice under "Contact options" for on Adobe's "Contact Customer Care" page (for "Download, install, setup" help with Digital Editions).
Reference URL:
http://helpx.adobe.com/contact.html?step=ADE_downloading-installing-setting-up_s tillNeedHelp
PROBLEM #5
The ONLY available "Basic Support" option for "How-to's & troubleshooting" help is the Adobe Forums...and this is an example of the type nonsense response (then followed by NON-response) that one might receive there:
https://forums.adobe.com/message/6570142
[NOTE: After MUCH searching I did, however, manage to find a potentially interesting "Let us know how we’re doing" link (under the "Our support promise" link found on the "What are my contact options? page). I am going to send them a brief message along with a link to THIS post and hope for the best.]
Reference URL:
http://helpx.adobe.com/contact/what-contact-options.html
PROBLEM #6
While I did NOT realize this prior to my attempting to install Adobe Digital Editions, apparently it would require me to "activate" my computer with an Adobe ID.
[NOTE: This information IS included in the readily accessible FAQ (and I am sure it's also found in the installer integrated software "License"), however, this is a MAJOR "feature" of this software and could be presented MUCH more prominently as an installer integrated "ReadMe" screen.]
Reference URL:
http://www.adobe.com/solutions/ebook/digital-editions/faq.html
...and, as an added bonus, there is a SIGNIFICANT "spyware" issue with this software discussed in further depth here:
http://the-digital-reader.com/2014/10/06/adobe-spying-users-collecting-data-eboo k-libraries/
As an experienced and life-long Mac user, I really SHOULD have known better and I did have second thoughts almost immediately, but by then it was TOO LATE!!!
So, now I have this TOTAL crap, super duper DRM software that required root-level permission to install (AND I couldn't even run this installed v3.0 copy under my preferred MacOS 10.6.8 if I wanted to...but, of course, I now have ABSOLUTELY NO desire to ever use this software again), and I just want to COMPLETELY remove all traces of it from my computer!
A pretty thorough Google search yielded several so-called "solutions" that were as bad or EVEN worse than the very limited "official" resources found directly from Adobe!
Any actual, real working solutions would be VERY greatly appreciated!
Thank you SO MUCH for your time and consideration in reading!!!
Sincerely,
aadams77

Hmm, it shouldn't be that much of a problem. I searched my entire drive for "digital editions", and this is the whole thing:
/Applications/Adobe Digital Editions 3.0.app
/Users/user/Library/Caches/com.adobe.adobedigitaleditions.app
/Users/user/Documents/Digital Editions
/Users/user/Library/Preferences/com.adobe.adobedigitaleditions.app.plist
/private/var/db/receipts/com.adobe.adobedigitaleditions.app.bom
/private/var/db/receipts/com.adobe.adobedigitaleditions.app.plist
/Library/Preferences/com.adobe.DigitalEditions.plist
The application itself, three small files scattered in your user account, to unimportant installation receipt files, and another preference file in the root Library folder. Removing those should remove everything related to version 3, which is what I have installed.
Where I substituted "user" above (for the three entries of /Users/user/...), replace that with whatever the actual name of your user account is.
Edit: I double checked the installer using a small app that sorts out every file in an installer, and where each item would normally be installed. The main app is literally the only item in the installer. The receipts are created by the OS per the installer's data, and the other minor preference files are created when the app is first run. There is nothing else.

How do I install Adobe digital editions on my iPad?

How do I install Adobe digital editions on my iPad?
I have an IPad Air 2, iOS 8.1.2. I ordered some ebooks that required the download of Adobe Digital Editions. I select the supplied link to the Adobe site, select download, and I am given the option of windows or Mac OS. I wandered through the site and even googled an iOS version with no luck. I thought maybe the Mac OS version might be universal to apple products so I downloaded it and tried to open it in One Note, One Drive, and Google My Drive with no luck. The .dmg file is not recognized. So, I'm back to looking for an iOS version. Is there one?

You can find an iPad version of Adobe Digital Editions in the app store on the iPad. I was able to download it and install it tonight. I followed the instructions in the included User's Guide to copy a book that I had first downloaded to my Mac over to DropBox. From the DropBox app on the iPad, I opened the book with ADE successfully. You might also look at the BlueFire reader; I've seen that recommended a number of places. I was just able to open the same book from DropBox in BlueFire. For both ADE and BlueFire, you will have to authorize your iPad to Adobe with an Adobe ID and pw. Good luck.
