I completely agree with you there, but that is what any DRM scheme does in the end. I've certainly lost ebooks (only a few, fortunately) due to DRM schemes becoming obsolete. I know of several ADE users who lost access to their books because of not authorising their ADE 2.0 installation with an Adobe ID.

That's interesting. Thanks. I think it must be optional or perhaps 4.2 isn't in wide use yet, because I've tested with download a new ebook wit ADE 3.0 and it still used the old DRM scheme.

I agree that seems unlikely, but it's obviously the intention. But I'm hoping that publishers come to their senses before that and drop DRM altogether.

Or, apparently with CS4.2 as an option.
I agree that there's no need to panic. I am concerned that this is going to cause an awful lot of confusion for customers once ADE 3.0 DRMed ebooks do start getting downloaded.
