I'm using WM5 with Reader 2.0 for PPC. I had no problems installing or activating the reader. However, when I try to copy a DRM ebook from Amazon.com, that does work on the activated desktop version, I get the following message:

___________
Cannot convert file "Year_of_the_Hyenas__A_Novel".

This file has been encrypted using a non-standard security handler. If it is an Adobe DRM encrypted eBook, please refer to the user guide for further information on how to prepare and view eBooks on Adobe Reader for Pocket PC. Otherwise, this file cannot be viewed on Adobe Reader for Pocket PC.
___________

I've reviewed all documentation (user guides/help, etc) for botht he PPC version and the desktop version and there is no mention of any special preparation other than the adjusting the screen options and reflow.

What's going on here? What's the use of buying ebooks for Adobe if they can't be read on the PocketPC!?!?!

Come on Adobe! WM5 has been out for a long time... get with it! Either pull your product off the market or support it!!!!!!
