I think iOS reader shows you nicely how much time you spend reading a few pages or books, tell you time to finish it and all the good stuff in nice pictures, graphs!

I'm not sure how that relates to ADE and the assumptions that are being made that Adobe may/may not be able to read our drive.

Please correct me if my rehash is wrong:
Compared to ADE 1/2/3 ADE 4 sends a good deal more data to Adobe's servers (and here is confusion still) for books opened with ADE (with DRM or all), all books in the ADE library, all books somehow linked to the ADE library, all books on the device. The data is send to a new adress, not the one used for DRM with older versions. The DRM functionality seems to be working even with the "new data connection" blocked. Adobe apologizes for the plain-text transmission, but says all the data is needed for DRM purposes and within the limits of ADE EULA. Why started Adobe the expanded data collection? (1) Big customers briefed Adobe to build up a comprehensive database on ebook/device use, reading habits etc. (2) Adobe plans to offer his customers new DRM variations for new business models. (3) Customers asked Adobe to implement new DRM variations for new business models. My money is on option 3 - in its statement Adobe talks about geo-locking and page-number-restrictions (for non-fiction?). But ... Please help me to speculate |

Also: No offense (and I don't mean that sarcastically), but you might want to lighten up on the rhetorical terminology if you're going to stray from the intended meaning of red herring. Even if my conclusion turned out to be wrong (which has been known to happen, eh?), my mention of a secondary issue would not have been an attempt to distract anyone from the primary issue (whatever you consider that to be). Additionally, using specific terms like ad hominem, straw man and even red herring can put people on the defensive because flagging supposed mistakes in their reasoning as classic errors or gambits can make them feel judged and/or fisked. Also, it invites them to fisk the accuser's posts in the same spirit, all of which can make for a rather strained conversation (which I assume was not your intent). Quote:

ADE reads only the books you ask ADE to open for you. That is using ade to read books. If there is a book sitting there on your hard disk, ade will never touch it. ADE may scan ADE library, every software will scan its own library. Last edited by Akshayy; 10-09-2014 at 03:54 AM. |

If that's the case:
{"msg_DocumentScanned":{"Document Scanned":{"atTime":1412622270683,"Title":"Crown of Empire","Creator":"Chelsea Quinn Yarbro","Subject":"","Description":"<p>The Pact of Mankind is a dinosaur lumbering toward oblivion: hedged about by alien enemies, it is rotten with decadence and corruption. The Pact is run by competing oligarchies of criminal corporations, but it is ruled by a single man--the High Secretary of the Pact. But if he should die, it would be feeding time in the piranha tank.</p>","Publisher":"Baen","Contributor":"calibre (2.3.0) [http://calibre-ebook.com]","Date":"1994-01-02T05:00:00+00:00","Language":"en","Format":"","Ty pe":"","Identifier":"23bc46c9-ecf8-442d-b6db-91d623ab2496","Source":"","Relation":"","Coverage" :"","Rights":""}}}, Why would it be pulling things from Calibre as in this example?? Or am I reading this wrong?? Especially if it's coming from Baen, which I didn't think used ADE or any sort of DRM. |

That's what I was thinking, but I didn't think Baen used ADE or any DRM for that matter, so that's why it jumped out at me.

They don't, but ADE installs itself as the default ePub reader, so on many PCs (mine included) if you double click an ePub book in Windows Explorer, it will open in ADE, and that process of opening the book copies it to the ADE library.

Remove ADE from your computer. Get a cheap notebook for downloading books. DeDRM the books, transfer them to your computer, then delete the book from the notebook. Keep WiFi/3G off on your ereader.

If you read the full list of items Adobe admits they log and why, in the Register article linked to in a post here, above, you'll find that they look for "certified app id" to fight DRM cracking. http://www.theregister.co.uk/2014/10..._is_important/ Quote:
