Adobe Digital Editions

Adobe Digital Editions 1.0 ("DE") is a free ebook program designed especially for PDF-based ebooks. It’s only a small download and, compared with Adobe Reader, it’s lightning fast and very easy to use. If you’ve been using Adobe Reader to read Adobe ebooks previously, you should upgrade to DE now.
