For now we are concentrating on the use of the ADE app for reading the ebooks in computers (Mac or PC), as well as tablets and phones (iOS or Android). It also allows third parties to develop dedicated ebook readers for ADE books, but that is not the subject at hand. In this system, Adobe provides the ebook reader app (ADE), and it provides the digital rights management of the documents, but it leaves the sales and distribution of the content to associated partners. It is called Adobe Digital Editions (ADE). There is, however, an attractive, all-platform option offered by Adobe. Kindle is multi-platform (PC, Mac, dedicated readers, iOS, and Android) iBooks are restricted to Mac and iOS (i.e., iPhones and iPads). Unfortunately, each is highly restricted by their owners (Amazon and Apple, respectively), leaving little flexibility for distribution and use in a physical or online classroom setting, as we need in our training program at Starpath. Both have well designed systems, which means: easy ebook purchases, distribution, and reader apps with many functions. Kindle is the most popular and iBooks is likely next. There are several ebook formats on the market.
