Adobe has launched a beta version of its new Digital editions which is a Web application built in Flash that will make reading of electronic documents easier.
This will act as a plug-in of Adobe Reader and can even display PDF files.
Digital Editions is just 2.5MB in size and will increase the feature set of the bulky Reader.
This application can be integrated with both Adobe Acrobat 8 and Reader 8. Along with displaying PDF, Digital Editions supports a new XHTML-based reflow-centric publication format, that can adjust content depending on the screen size.
“By creating a specialized, consumer-friendly application like Digital Editions, Adobe is ensuring publishers can securely deliver high-impact content to the widest possible audience, across hardware platforms, operating systems and devices,” remarked Adobe president Shantanu Narayen.
The tool is available free of charge at the official site of Adobe, with a beta release currently offered for Windows.
