Keep in mind:<br /><br />1. I once talked to someone at Adobe about what I hated about its reader. He agreed but pointed out that the reader was free. The development costs were paid for by publishers, obsessed with features such as DRM. They were the ones who had to be pleased.<br /><br />2. I'm not sure there's all that much difference between what Adobe is doing and what both Apple and Amazon do with their ebook readers. All track what we're reading remotely. They have to do that to synch between devices. And while I can bypass Apple servers to read a document with iBooks, by far the easiest way to get an ebook onto my Kindle or into a Kindle app is through Amazon's servers. And Amazon makes it very easy to store that document on their servers.<br /><br />In the end, I suspect this will prove to be like bending and the new iPhones, a tempest in a teapot. A little user good sense can easily correct any potential problems.Inklinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05272203500649628022noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35428618.post-46098977646820103532014-10-08T13:10:57.185+00:002014-10-08T13:10:57.185+00:00Except this Privacy Policy/EULA is not presented (...Except this Privacy Policy/EULA is not presented (as obvious links for example) when you download this app, the licence you ACCEPT in the installer doesn't contains those two, which means it is illegal in a large number of countries.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
