Thank you oj829, that is exactly why I've avoided it so far and why my comment initially in this thread.

I think I'm not going to update until I absolutely have to. I hate ADE, and use it only rarely anyway.

I don't think so. I don't actually "have" books in my ADE 1.72 library, although epub droppings (files) stay in my ADE directory unless I clear them out by hand. After I return library books, e.g., the presumably useless husk of a DRM'ed epub stays hanging out in the directory.
After I delete a downloaded purchase, same thing. I have to manually clean out the useless epubs, and at the time of this attempted install, there were about a half-dozen epubs in the ADE library directory, but 0 bought/borrowed books in the ADE library. The installer apparently detected returned library books. The distortion on the menus and buttons preceded my adding even 1 single (new library) book to ADE 2.0. In fact, I keep my ADE library at 0 books on purpose. |

Was worried about that. I know 1.8 used .net 2.0, which doesn't run under wine. Adobe was like "oh well, not our fault."

They don't give a damm about us
Guess "drm free" will becore more of a criteria to chose my books. |

Let's see: ADE no longer works under Wine. No more Adobe AIR for Linux. Currently no Adobe Reader X for Linux. No new Flash for Linux. Never any Photoshop for Linux.
It sure seems to me like Adobe has a vendetta against Linux. |

I wouldn't say a vendetta, but certainly a choosing of where to focus resources.

What kills me is that almost all ebooks that get read, get read on hardware that runs on some flavor of Linux/*nix. Yet no one selling ebooks thinks having a Linux version of their desktop reading app is a good idea.

Yes the only desktop app was being developed by e-Reader they had a beta version available before Fictionwise was bought by B&N.I don't no if it is still available but B&N have just about killed that format .

@Hellmark
more ironic is most of the portable devices (like my PEz) that have MR run Linux Last edited by theducks; 10-05-2012 at 10:36 AM. Reason: added MR |
