Create "Sign In" Account for Reader

[darepah]

I just moved from an older version of Reader to Reader DC.  In the upper right corner of the home screen there's a place to "Sign In" to use new features.  I have an "adobe.com" account but that apparently doesn't qualify me to sign in for Reader because the Reader Sign In doesn't recognize my email address used for adobe.com.  Now, this wouldn't be a problem if there were some place to create an account for Reader Sign In, but if there is I sure haven't found it.  HELP

Your most recent update does not address this issue.  I consider it an open question. For  your convenience I will repeat it.  1) How do I create a New Account in Reader, or 2) Is it possible to link my existing Adobe.com account to my Reader?, or 3) Your suggestions appreciated.

Did it solve your problem?"

This is my answer, which I have to post here as that message came from a "no_reply" address -

To Whomever:

NO!!! The answer just asked for information, which I provided. I have heard nothing since.

For whatever reason, this Support Community appears unable to respond to what I thought was a straightforward question.
