so you reckon that once a device or PC has been authorised, then it STAYS authorised even if you change the web site password.

so how does a purchased book check work. If send a purchased book to a new reader, does the reader just do an ID check i.e. checks that is has the same adobe-ID as is embedded in the book somewhere, & then says OK you can read that

Am i right in thinking that you don't ever give your adobe credentials to an e-book store, you just buy the acsm licence file & then it is your PC or device that associates an adobe ID with that purchase , when it opens the acsm & downloads the actual book?.

so you don't need to know your adobe password in order to buy a book, so long as you buy via an already authorised device.

and I could buy , but not open, an acsm file & give it to someone ellse, or vice-verse . it is a "good for one use only" file, and is linked to a specific ID only when 1st opened ?
