Dear Kris777:

Just so everybody understands the Adobe Digital Editions costs the manufacturer $75,000 per MODEL. If Netronics, for example, releases 5 models in 2009... that is $375,000. Plus there is a security and maintenance fee you pay whether or not you use it. It is not cheap.

We were fortunate and got grandfathered in on Fictionwise eReader so I do not know the cost. Sorry.
