    Hi Jim

    what if my device is not listed in the list of supported devices, does that mean it would not work, or that they do not know as it has not been tested.

    While it is possible that it may work, it most likely will not.  Adobe updates that list regularly whenever they certify new devices/apps, which is supposed to be a requirement prioir to releasing the devices.

    Most likley the device is not using RMSdk to view the epub/PDFs and so it is not compatible with the Adobe DRM, and you will need to stick to non DRM ePubs and PDFs on the device.

    Adobe Digital Editions handles EPUBs and PDFs wrapped in Adobe DRM.

    Hi Scott

    so do I take it as long as my ereader can deal with epub or pdf with or with out drm then it should be able to read it !, as the make is not listed in the supported devices.
