Adobe Digital Editions 1.0 Released

By Nick Mokey June 18, 2007

Adobe took the wraps off a new line of software Monday with the release of Adobe Digital Editions 1.0. The new software is supposed to serve as a viewer for a virtual library of publications including eBooks and digital newspapers.

With built-in support for Adobe’s own PDF format and a slim download size of 3MB, it appears as though Digital Editions could be a beefed up replacement for Adobe Acrobat. Additional features that Acrobat lacks include Flash support, organization of content through bookshelves, and a new user interface that is intended to make the zooming and scrolling process easier. Users can also annotate content with bookmarks, highlighting and text notes.

An export feature built into Adobe InDesign CS3 will allow designers to easily digitize their print work in a format already optimized for the new software package. Additionally, Sony has pledged to build a hardware reader that supports the software.

“Adobe Digital Editions will revolutionize how publishers deliver eBooks and other digital content and how consumers experience it,” said Rob Tarkoff, senior vice president of corporate development at Adobe, in a statement. “The combination of Adobe Digital Editions, InDesign CS3 and a new generation of hardware from innovators like Sony shows that digital publishing is front and center for content owners – and millions of readers who are looking forward to innovations in the delivery of their favorite works.”

Like Acrobat, Digital Editions is available as a free download from Adobe’s Web site.

How to format the microSD card on Tapo security cameras

The Tapo C120 out in the rain.

One of the most compelling features of Tapo products (like the Wire-Free 2K Outdoor Cam and Indoor/Outdoor Cam) is support for local storage. Many Tapo security cameras let you install a microSD card, so you don't have to rely on cloud storage to save all your videos – instead, they're neatly stored right on your camera. Before you can start using local storage, however, you'll need to format your microSD card. Tapo has some pretty strict requirements for how this works, but the process itself is remarkably simple.

Ready to start saving all your video clips locally? Here's how to format the microSD card on your Tapo security camera.

Blink Mini 2 vs. Ring Stick Up Cam Pro: Which is the best security camera?

The Ring Stick Up Cam Pro on display the 2023 Amazon Fall Devices and Services event.

The Blink Mini 2 is one of the cheapest security cameras you can buy. It's pretty well-rounded too. It's capable of filming in HD and offering support for outdoor use when paired with an optional accessory, making it a great choice for shoppers on a budget. That makes it wildly different from the Ring Stick Up Cam Pro, which carries a hefty price tag and supports both indoor and outdoor use right out of the box without the need to purchase a secondary accessory.

But is the Ring Stick Up Cam Pro a better investment than the affordable Blink Mini 2? From pricing and video resolution to the installation process and additional features, here's a look at the Blink Mini 2 and Ring Stick Up Cam Pro to help you decide which is the best choice for your home.
