My ebooks used to open with Adobe Digital Editions but now they won't. They try to open in OpenOffice instead.
When I download an eBook, it opens in Sony® eBook Library Software instead of Adobe Digital Editions. What should I do?
My eBooks used to open with Adobe Digital Editions but they don’t anymore. I just installed OpenOffice on my computer and it wants to open everything there.
