Yes they need to update their web site. Before "Adobe Digital Editions" meant ePUB. But Adobe has changed their license servers to include handle both ePUB and PDF. I have some old PDF that worked with Adobe 7. The latest one bought only worked with Adobe DE.

Any how BoB has changed their terminology. ePUB are called "Adobe ePUB" and PDF are "Adobe Digital Editions"

They are PDF. If they where optimized for a 6" screen you would be okay, but my experience is that most PDF on BoB are letter.

The Icons they display to denote PDF or ePUBs are different here is how they look.

EPUB Icon


PDF (Aka "Adobe Digital Editions")
