Question

Need link to download older version of ADE

After successfully deleting ADE version 4.5.12, and removing any leftover files in accordance with instructions given by ChatGPT, I was able to successfully start using ADE again until today, when it launches and then closes abruptly about 10 seconds later. I would like to download an earlier version, and I cannot find a link to do so. Any help would be appreciated!

      I’m in the same boat as you.  The newest ADE doesn’t work properly for my Kobo and on my Mac.  Does Adobe ever check these forums? ……..

      Well, after I was successfully able to convert a book to e-PUB once, it crashed on me on the next book. I finally had success using Calibre (not to remove DRM but just to save it as an ePUB). Once I did that I was able to sideload to my nook…try it… I’ll be using it from now on with Libby books 🙂
