Adobe Digital Editions upgraded to 1.7
By Paul Biba
Press release from Adobe:
Digital Editions 1.7 now released
(February 2, 2009)
Adobe has updated its popular Digital Editions software, a lightweight, rich Internet application for reading, acquiring, and organizing digital books and other publications. Digital Editions 1.7 greatly expands language support. In addition to the current support for English, German and French, Digital Editions 1.7 supports Japanese, Chinese (Traditional and Simplified), Korean, Spanish, Italian, Dutch and Portuguese. For publishers seeking to include special roman characters in their publications, we highly recommend embedding fonts in your digital publications. Version 1.7 also provides for a standalone installer option which can be used to install Digital Editions in networked environments including corporate, educational and other locations that require administrative installations of the software. The expanded language and installer support in Digital Editions 1.7 enables Adobe Content Server 4 customers to protect and fulfill both PDF and EPUB files to users who want to purchase or borrow content in the above languages and also to users who use Digital Editions in networked environments.

Hadrien of Feedbooks tweeted this in the morning. The same ePub, however, that’s justified in ADE 1.7 remains unjustified in the desktop Sony Reader software. *sigh*

If the Flash installer is having problems, your best bet would be to download the Stand-Alone Installer available fromhttp://www.adobe.com/devnet/digitalpublishing/
