It appears to me that the lesson the Adobe poster took from Mobileread was that the problem was solved by installing a later version, and as a result installed the latest available.
Personally my understanding is that 4.0.3 supports ACS6 and the new Adobe DRM. At some time in the future it is possible that Vendors using ACS6 will turn on an option which will download books with the new DRM to those with versions of ADE which support it, whilst continuing to download books with the old DRM to those with older versions of ADE. Upgrading to 4.0.3 does not therefore seem to be a wonderful idea. |
I didn't see anything here about downloading 4.03 either. Upgrading to 4.03 is a very bad idea. If Google did require 4.03 I would stop buying from them.
