Adobe Digital Editions is a freeware program from Adobe Systems built using Adobe Flash. It is used for acquiring, managing and reading eBooks, digital newspapers, and other digital publications. The software implements Digital Rights Management and supports PDF, XHTML, and Flash-based content. Significantly, XHTML support is offered through the nonproprietary .epub extension--part of a major e-book standards initiative from the International Digital Publishing Forum. Digital Editions' DRM is proprietary. But nonDRMed .epub files can be read through programs developed by others, not just Adobe. The IDPF in the future intends to address DRM issues.

Adobe Digital Editions was released on June 19, 2007. The software requires version 9.0 of Adobe Flash Player.
