eBooks, Adobe still sucks, ditching Firefox2?

Well, Adobe has finally, and quietly released a product called Digital Editions, still in beta, though not feature complete. It is slower, and less responsive, and has less features than any version of Acrobat or Reader before it. It is the new DRM behind your back version of Reader. So now we have a product called Acrobat Reader 8, but if you want to read an eBook that uses Adobe’s DRM, you have to use a different product called Digital Editions, which isn’t ready yet. Though the rendering is nice, far better than the last working solution for Adobe DRMed eBooks, Acrobat 6, you have next to no control over zooming…
What gives? Why is Adobe doing such a stupid thing as diverging functionality from an app (where it was merged half a decade ago) and consequently reinventing their own wheel at the same time?? Makes ZERO SENSE.
Perhaps the eBook I first bought will finally be legible by the middle of 2007, at which point it will be outdated, since the book is on Objective-C and by that time Objective-C 2.0 will be standard and public ! Fucking bastards at Adobe.

On another note, to show you what wonders open source and free software can do in less time… the most recent point incremental updates to WordPress have added full support to Safari for editing and posting!! Now I no longer need Firefox2 for that, and soon, not for much else either!
