About Adobe Reader
Adobe® Reader® is the widely proliferated industry standard application for viewing and printing Adobe PDF documents. However, Reader supports a variety of workflows beyond consuming e-books and other commercially published content. As a result, the power, complexity, and size of Reader are not optimized for consumer-level e-book reading.
For better e-book reading experience, it is highly advised that you download Adobe® Digital Editions, which is a free, lightweight application designed for digital reading.
