Welcome to the club... it was formed almost a decade ago, and volumes of frustration and bile have been spilled on the subject over the years ...you are not alone.

The fundamental problem is DRM protection implementation and every reader which supports encrypted ebooks has user issues.

The responsibility for the format used lies with the publisher... who is likely much more interested in content protection than even acknowledging user issues, so, that's where you need to direct your (justifiable) feelings.

Personally, I made a decision in the late 90's based, on principal, to _never_ purchase DRM protected ebooks or audio... ultimately, that's the only user comment the decision makers will even acknowledge, much less listen to.

Your adobe ebook issue is probably addressable on a single device... search here for posts which cover several years of ebook problem solving. I can't help, as I won't go there.
