I can't quite imagine enjoying either the medium or the kinds of work produced on it, but I suppose I shouldn't say anything until I've tried it! Thanks, MS. That is indeed a remarkable phenomenon.

As an example, <a href="http://www.wowio.com" rel="nofollow">WOWIO</a> ebooks are compatible with both programs, but ebooks from many other sites will only work with Digital Editions. I would suggest trying both programs to see which one works for your files: <a href="http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/readstep2_allversions.html" rel="nofollow">Adobe Reader</a> <a href="http://www.adobe.com/products/digitaleditions/" rel="nofollow">Adobe Digital Editions</a> Note that the Digital Editions downloading site doesn't always seem to be working (it's not working for me as I look at it on 1-20-08).

I'm using filemarker. I'm not sure how to use pdf reader for this or if it's possible. Thanks. Is there any way to download pdf files that are “digital editions”? I’m using filemarker.

Certainly, I appreciate it when others provide it, so with help from your nudge, I'm now doing the same. Thanks for the feedback, James.
