Compatibility question

Metal Mick · 07-22-2010, 02:03 AM

Hi all,

just a quick question or two - and hopefully not too foolish.

I'm relatively new to the forum, and ebooks in particular. I am leaning towards a PB 302, although there are one or two others I like as well.

My local library has a few eBooks, and they look to be DRM'd Adobe PDFs.

However, I check the list of compatible devices on the Adobe Website:

http://www.adobe.com/products/digitaleditions/devices/

- and the Pocketbooks are not listed. Is this because the list is out of date? This forum's wiki tends to indicate (as well as the PBwebsite) that there is support for this format of book.

Or am I missing something?

Cheers,

Michael P

The list is out of date. Pocketbook readers support Adobe DRM'd titles: it's actually the only DRM they can read.

Hi Logseman,
