I also think it depends on what format you are downloading in as to your experience. Adobe is extremely proprietary and you have to go through Digital Editions to download. With the new version you can no longer view ebooks in adobe proper. I am going to steer clear of adobe and try .lit files instead.

I think that is the problem with downloading in a zip file - it would surpass the DRM.

They would prefer individual eBooks to be added to the bookshelf with one click and it is something they are striving toward but the eBook fulfillment technology just isn’t there yet.
