They are one-in-the-same. Check their website for the PC version of "Adobe Ebook Reader" and it takes you to the Adobe Reader site. PDF is PDF. |
Ummmmm ... my statement is still correct. The Adobe Ebook reader was (operative word there) a separate program, for which
there was no Pocket PC version. And isn't now. (See FAQ link below, page 6.)
... The new Adobe Reader 6.0 that I guess you are referring to now supports Adobe Acrobat PDF and Adobe EBook formats.

With the release of Adobe® Reader® 6.0 software, Adobe has united Acrobat eBook Reader and Acrobat Reader in a single application. You no longer need to install Acrobat eBook Reader to enjoy eBooks. All of the eBook reading features formerly in Acrobat eBook Reader are now available in Adobe Reader. |

But wait. Guess what -- it is only supported on Windows, Mac, and to some degree Palm OS. NOT Pocket PC.

Q: Can I view eBooks on PocketPC?
A: eBooks are not currently supported on Adobe Reader for Pocket PC since it does not include the Adobe DRM system. Adobe may evaluate Pocket PC support for a future release if there is enough demand from consumers. |
So if you buy an Adobe eBook to read on your Pocket PC, you're
still out of luck. :|
