trash

This is probably the single worst app I've been forced to use. It has less functionality than the previous edition of Adobe reader. It constantly fails to open documents properly, When you can open an ebook there is no full screen view. The navigation buttons are unreliable, jerky, and too tiny to see easily. I get consistent headaches from the program because the text moves so jerkily and I am constantly moving up and down i the same page. I cannot imagine what Adobe think they are doing inflicting trash like this on ebook readers.
There is also one specific issue that drives me crazy. I'm left-handed. In Reader 7 I would set an ebook to full screen and use the space bar to page down. Now, the space bar often does not work and I have to reach across to the right side of the keyboard with my left hand to hit the pagedown button, or mouse to the right side of the screen to use possibly the smallest nav buttons ever inflicted on users. What was a seamless process is now frustrating and constantly interrupted. I'd revert to Reader 7 if I could, but the new security arrangements make that impossible.
Do not use this product if you can avoid it, particulalry if you are left-handed.

In my case all it does is display a blank window - I can only see the window contents after a forced refresh; for example if I cover part of the ADE window with another window that bit of the ADE window becomes visible. I can only see entire pages by grabbing the title bar and dragging it down to the lower edge of my monitor, when I bring it back after "dunking" it I can see the text. The text won't change, no matter how many pages I flip, until I "dunk" it again. The windows version works flawlessly in Parallels, though.
It's slow
It crashes
It hangs and forces you to kill it
Drag-n-drop doesn't work at all.
Only half of the ebooks I tried to load in there actually worked.
Tisk, tisk Adobe, really. This is truly awful!
