If you checked it out with OverDrive Media Console, OMC requires an Adobe id to redeem the books, too but you should've been prompted for one. The newer versions I believe use some complicated alias with their servers instead... but that is still a service of the app, not the library. |
nit picker. Amazon doesn't require an adobe-id to "purchase" a book; B&N doesn't require adobe-id to "buy" a book; Google Play Store doesn't require an adobe-id to buy a book. I use Aldiko to get the library books directly now as I found that it could; prior to that I used my computer then ftp'ed to my tablet & used Aldiko to get a readable copy.
The library doesn't require an adobe-id to download the "torrent"(?) *.ASCM (acsm?)file which is not readable; the file is used to get the "real" book but requires an adobe-id to do so unless it is done via adobe digital editions.
However, the biggest thing is that ALL ebooks that are DRM'ed should be marked & visually seen explicitly prior to the decision for "purchase". Preferably labeled along with the publisher's & author's name like buyer beware warnings.
The fact still remains that the DRM refuses to let me legitimately read a "purchased" book with the ereader app of my choice at any time. There is a big thing about labeling food stuff as not to contain GMO, so there isn't a reason that it shouldn't it apply to DRM books as well.
