When digital edition will be compatible with Windows 8

Both ADE1.7.2 (see *** below) and ADE2.0 run on Windows 8.

ADE2.0 is full of bugs on Windows 8; but only the same bugs it has everywhere else as well.

Neither can take advantage of touch, nor run in Metro mode (whatever it's proper name is).

As far as I am aware, there is no Adobe DRM compatible app that runs on Windows RT.

Just been alerted by another post ...

DL Reader app for Windows RT (thanks trainmore): http://apps.microsoft.com/windows/en-gb/app/dl-reader/0be254fa-1323-4bda-92fa-698fe502456c

Two alternatives ...

For DRM free ebooks, use the free and vastly superior Calibre.  http://calibre-ebook.com/

For DRM ebooks, you can use Sony Reader; free download from Sony intended to run with Sony eReaders but works quite happily without.  I prefer ADE1.7.2 to Sony Reader. https://ebookstore.sony.com/download/

*** Version 1.7.2, it is a little difficult to find, available on Adobe site for Windows and for Mac.
