DE 1.0 is Adobe Digital Editions 1.0
It's similar to Acrobat in the sense that it generates electronic documents to be distributed and read elsewhere, but instead of producing PDF documents, it produces EPUB documents.
PDF documents have a fixed output (for example, to be printed in A4 paper), while EPUB documents are reflowable in the same way that HTML pages are. So in EPUB documents you can change the font size, change the paper size et al. and it will re-adapt itself to look good using those parameters.
So, if people begin using EPUB docs instead of PDF docs when they're meant to be read without resorting to print them, the future will be bright and shiny :-).
