Adobe免費閱讀器：Adobe Digital Editions 1.0

SAN JOSE, Calif. — June 19, 2007 — Adobe Systems Incorporated today announced the release of Adobe® Digital Editions 1.0, a new software application built from the ground up for acquiring, managing and reading eBooks, digital newspapers, and other digital publications. Available as a free download for Microsoft® Windows® and Macintosh systems, Adobe Digital Editions software transforms the digital reading experience and offers new creative possibilities for publishers. Adobe Digital Editions is an engaging new way to read and manage eBooks and other digital publications. Digital Editions is built from the ground up as a lightweight, Rich Internet Application (RIA). Digital Editions works online and offline, and supports PDF and XHTML—based content as well as Flash SWF for rich interactivity.

Adobe發布了一款新軟件“Digital Editions 1.0”，可以在PC和Mac上輕松“獲取、管理和閱讀”電子書和電子文檔，兼容PDF、XML、Flash等格式。

相比于龐大臃腫的Adobe Reader和Adobe Acrobat，新鮮出爐的Digital Editions 1.0僅僅不到3MB大小，而且完全免費，并全面支持Windows 2000 SP4、XP SP2、Vista和Mac OS X 10.3.9+(PowerPC-Mac)或10.4.8+(Intel-Mac)操作系統。此前的測試版已經被下載了30多萬次。

Digital Editions 1.0可以打開、閱讀和管理免費的和付費的PDF、XML文件，兼容15多萬種商業發行刊物，還可以“通過書簽、標記和筆記添加注釋內容”。

支持Flash則意味著可以在文檔內嵌入豐富的音頻和視頻內容，將枯燥的文本電子書轉換成富媒體體驗，而且文本和Flash版面可以自動適應窗口或屏幕大小，并保證帶來“無縫流暢的閱讀體驗”。

對于Adobe InDesign CS3用戶來說，只需要點擊鼠標，就可以將現有內容轉換成Digital Editions兼容格式。

另外，索尼將與Adobe就此展開合作，在其電子書閱讀器“Sony Reader”中加入Digital Editions eBook技術，不過尚未披露具體產品規劃。至于其他智能手機、PocketPC、iPhone等，Adobe都沒有提及。
