Why Fileopen and not Adobe Digital Editions?

• You only need to download it once for all users.

• There are no forced upgrades.

• It works.

“Here at UEA we've been involved in the testing of FileOpen from the start and I would say it is a great improvement on Digital Editions; easier to network and no problems with upgrades. There was one early bug involving (I believe) double layers of security, but this was quickly sorted out and BL were very helpful all along.” Michael Robbins,Senior Assistant - ILL,University of East Anglia,
