Adobe Digital Edition is a free e-book and journals reader software program supporting EPUB and PDF formats. It is necessary to use it to read e-books protected by DRM (Digital Rights Management) on computers or other devices, such as the volumes contained in the Academic Complete e-book collection by ProQuest Central or the "eBook Academic Collection" by EBSCO, and to benefit from digital lending.
To use it, you need to take the following steps:
- Download and install the software on your device from the page: <https://www.adobe.com/it/solutions/ebook/digital-editions/download.html>
- Create an Adobe ID account (information about the account can be found at: https://helpx.adobe.com/it/manage-account/kb/account-password-sign-help.html). Credentials are required by the Adobe Digital Edition software and are also needed to download e-books from ProQuest Central's Academic Complete and EBSCO's "eBook Academic Collection".
