But, of course, the decision to use an Adobe product to read a PDF file is probably inevitable since you are reading documents that were created (not by you) in PDF format. PDF documents are pervasive.
I dislike the multiple column format too - these look great as hard copy newspapers, magazines and printed articles and may be more efficient in that medium, but they do not translate well to electronic files and so they are really hard to read in any electronic format and in any electronic reader. These documents are nothing more than scanned images, and I do not consider them to be true electronic documents. People who intend to publish electronic newspapers, magazines and articles should understand this and change the format....some of them have.
I'm not willing to install DE to my computer until I have confirmation that using this software will not disrupt my reading of DRM PDF files on my Pocket PC. However, I think Adobe recognized that Adobe Acrobat and Adobe Reader were slow, bloated and more than the average reader needs and that is why they've come up with DE. In the end, I think DE will be the best and most efficient PDF reader around.
