Just out of Adobe Labs is Adobe� Digital Editions 1.0 which provides publishers a new tool for presenting ebook content.

The online visitor can download the Adobe(R) Digital Editions software directly to their PC. The digital edition software provides a catalog view of each digital edition downloaded to the readers computer.

We�re excited to work with Adobe to pioneer new applications for eBooks and other digital documents,� said Ron Hawkins, vice president of portable reader systems marketing at Sony Electronics, Inc. �This collaboration will give us the opportunity to expand our offerings to a larger audience and new markets, allowing individual consumers, businesses, and other customers to take advantage of the portability and ease of use of Sony�s Reader products with a wider spectrum of content.

As the first version, the capabilities seem much like that of utilizing the Adobe reader and a PDF document. As future version of the digital publication software provide new features we expect that this will become a new way to publish digital content online.
