Correct. "Sticky" is currently broken.

See other thread. Adobe reader for the PPC WILL NOT read copyrighted Adobe-formatted e-books, as it cannot activate, as you must do with the desktop versions, in order to read such books.

Therefore, a large percentage of e-books (copyrighted (DRM-protected) Adobe-formatted e-books) CANNOT be read on a PPC.

Sad :cry: but true.

I only found out about this after purchasing such a book, with the intent of reading it on my PPC, and now find I cannot do so, and "no returns allowed".

Not completely true ("PDF is PDF"). DRM-encrypted PDF is not normal PDF, but can only be read if the Adobe Reader program is "activated". Adobe Reader 6 for Windows (same with most Os's) can be so activated, but the version (1.0) for PPC cannot.

thanks for your clarifications, Maikii.

Depending on the site, I would hope that a download in a different version at least, if not a return, should be granted. Obviously, Adobe's scheme for "eBooks" (using the term loosely in their case) is confusing to consumers and a detriment to eBook publishers. (I had to dig through 4-5 pages on Adobe's site to confirm the new non-PPC status of the new "combined" Adobe Reader.) An Adobe "eBook" is not really as portable since it does not support Pocket PCs and other eBook readers (e.g., Mobipocket Reader), just Palm OS devices. >:( I'm usually an Adobe fan (use 2-3 of their apps), but this and their backing of the Skylarov arrest a year or two ago really makes me want to vote with my wallet for "the other guys" .
