I need an ereader that is someway connected to Adobe Digital for DRM books

willanaya · 12-01-2025, 10:17 PM

Hello y'all. I am trying to get back into the ereader/eBook world. The last reader I had was Aldiko Classic Premium on my ROG phone. However, I cannot download/side load it to my RedMagic 9Pro because it says it is not compatible or the app is too old for my phone.

I have a hodgepodge of eBooks that are DRM and not DRM. I tried Calibre myself and by ways of YouTube Vid and can't seem to find out how to do them. I watched a video of a lady that said she will show how and it took her 7minutes and 41 seconds to get into it but at the end all she talked about is getting an old Kindle, turn on airplane mode, and load your books on it.

I watched the videos by the founder/creator of Calibre and not once did it show it. Another guy talked about putting the deDRM plugin on Calibre but it was like he clicked a link and then clicked a link and then clicked a link and then clicked a link and then said that's it, you are done.

So my question. is there:

1. An ereader that accepts Adobe Digital ID for the books I have that require it. But also accepts EPub books without having to jump through hoops to make it accept them.

2. An app that does the same thing. I bought the ReadEra Premium and B&N Nook app. When I plugged the phone into my PC and loaded it that way, all the books have the "sync" icon on the folders, and the app won't detect them.

3. I basically want the Aldiko Classic for my new phone, so I don't have to carry around my old phone

Thank you for your time.

It sounds like a Kobo would do you. It works with Adobe DRMed ebooks.

They also have an app for Apple and Android mobile phones, although I don't have persona experience with it, so I don't know how easy it is to load your own ePub books into it.

Kobos and Pocketbooks read epubs with Adobe DRM. Kindles don't. That said, it's pretty trivial to remove the Adobe DRM from your books.

The simplest option would be a PocketBook e-reader, which does not need to be connected to a computer to authorise your Adobe account and also allows you to have several Adobe accounts active at the same time. Alternatively, you could use an Android e-reader with a reading app that is compatible with Adobe DRM (the PocketBook app works quite well and also allows you to synchronise your books with PocketBook e-readers). With Kobo, you need to authorise it beforehand, but once you've done that, all you have to do is send yourself the e-books. Personally, for almost exclusive use of e-books in ePub format with Adobe DRM, my first choice would always be a PocketBook e-reader.
