This does mean that you will not be able to download books from the Harlequin web site to Adobe Digital Editions. (Edit: Confirmed with Harlequin tech support.) So if you want your own back-ups of your ebooks, make sure you download them before the 12th. That's only two weeks away! Thanks to septentrion for the news. |
