Adobe’s New E-Reader Step in Right Direction
By Jane • Jun 20th, 2007 • Category: Publishing News • •Adobe released its Adobe Digital Editions 1.0 that had previously been released in beta form. I’ve tried out the beta form and with properly formatted pdfs, the books looked great. With older books, however, it struggles with the same issues of reflow and readability. Still, if the IDPF can convince every publisher to go to a unified standard such as the IDPF Open Publication Standard (OPS) for XHTML-based re-flowable eBooks, then one more barrier to the ebook industry will fall. A big barrier.
Also included in the press release was a notice that mobile editions of the Adobe Digital Editions were in the works including one that would be compatible with the Sony EReader. I won’t be changing preferred formats just yet, but this is definitely a good development.
Jane is a long time romance reader whose passion is, you guessed it, reading. Jane also does not like to talk about herself in the third person, but apparently this is the way that this biography thing works (although in a true biography, someone else would be writing this blurb). Anyway, currently Jane loves urban fantasy authors Patricia Briggs and Ilona Andrews. She's really excited about this year's crop of historicals including Joanna Bourne's The Spymaster's Lady and Sherry Thomas' Private Arrangements and the upcoming Loretta Chase Her Scandalous Ways.
She's looking for a good contemporary author. Email her with a recommendation!
