If you haven't already picked up a copy of ADE 2.0.1, the link to download it from Adobe's site is: http://download.adobe.com/pub/adobe/..._Installer.exe . |
Unfortunately we're not going to be able to offer a whole lot of support for ADE 2.0.1, which looks like it's from 2012. Our compatible epubs should hopefully look somewhat acceptable on them, since in the "compatible" epubs we replace advanced CSS selectors with class selectors. But don't expect to be able to use our "advanced" epubs (which don't look good on today's software, let alone software from 2012) on any version of ADE this century.
I sympathize with people who bought into platforms that no longer offer updates. The ereader device space is one with little competition and even less technical enthusiasm, so options are limited and it can be frustrating to spend a lot of money on a device that just a few years later is stuck with obsolete software. But our project aims at modern standards, produced at a volunteer-time pace, so the amount of effort we can put in to supporting 8-year-old software that was bad even in 2012 is limited.
