Since it is a vulnerability that allows code to be executed, I would treat every file that ADE opens as if I was running an executable. I.e. don't use it to open books that come from untrusted sources.
I wouldn't rely on retailers/distributors checking whether the books they sell contain malicious code, so that means I would also need to trust the original publisher/creator of the book.
