I have a Yoga 2 that works GREAT with Adobe Acrobat Pro X as a touch screen reader. I was FORCED to download Digital Editions for an e-book I needed, because there were no security plug-ins for Pro X. Now I'm stuck with ADE... it pages slowly... I have to use a Mouse to scroll if I rotate the Yoga into a reading orientation... can't see the entire page in laptop mode, and PgDn/ PgUp don't work well...Can anyone PLEASE provide any guidance on either a) a security plug-in for Acrobat Pro that will allow me to use it, or b) "fix" ADE so it's even marginally functional?

And Adobe please take note. IMHO, ADE is - at best - WAY BELOW standard for an e-book reader. Shame for inflicting this on the market.

I created a simple tool to page back and forward (pgup & pgdown) on Windows machines when using Adobe Digital Editions. This tool (ADE Navigator) stays on top while you're reading.

Its really good you made this, thank you for sharing, but it's amazing this is the best option available. Time fo adobe to make some plugins or renew ADE.

I'm looking for a waaaaay better book reader for secure E-books on my Surface Pro 3 as well.. Digital Editions seems like a remnant from Windows 98 or something! Weird there are no good apps for that yet.. also that Adobe, has no focus on the rapidly growing Windows 10 market!
