The only one I can think of that annoyed me was my copy of the Children of Huirin which had an annoyingly pixelated map (the Way of Shadows was a bit annoying too). But with a 5 percent cheaper price when I pick eReader from ficitonwise, I'm willing to live with it.

I've setup ADE on two different computers (two different accounts) without an issue whatsoever. What I don't like about eReader is the formatting used on most eReader eBooks plus the size and/or quality of the graphics. I'm not saying any other format is perfect. Far from it. There is no perfect format. There could be if the reading software supported things like fonts, margins, line & paragraph spacing, widow/orphans, & hyphenation. None do all that. And a lot of what I mentioned are controlled by the eBook's settings.

One of the reasons I like ePub is that I can strip the DRM and without having to decompile, I can make the changes I want. Then when I am finished, I can the use that ePub to read the book. Plus, with the ePub sorted, Calibre can then convert into some other format if I so choose and I should get a nice version.
