eBooks can not be opened with ADE on MacOS - Onleihe Hilfeseite

I do run both ADE and Libby, Libby I love, but there are only about 500 books on Overdrive for the Berlin library and nearly 30,000 via ADE/CARE. My other online library doesn't Overdrive at all. Wanna hear a real bummer? Overdrive is enabled on Kobos for Germany.
I'm not talking about Linux. I'm talking OS X. Adobe Digital Editions does work on OS X. I don't know what rubbish that website is spewing, but I do know it's wrong.

I know you do have to run other software under Linux such as Wine to get ADE to work.

So other then Linux, ADE will work on the two most used operating systems. In fact, there is a version of ADE for iOS and Android. There as other programs based on ADE such as Bluefire Reader. So the only operating system left out is Linux.
