Bookeen today announced that they have signed an agreement with Adobe to license the Adobe Reader Mobile SDK for its products.

The new software engine delivers support for reflowable PDF technology, Adobe’s content protection technology, as well as the EPUB file format. The Bookeen products will be compatible with Adobe Digital Edition Desktop application (compatible both on PCs and Macs) enabling users to acquire and download their content from a variety of sources. Both the PDF and EPUB support will become available through a software release scheduled in quarter 1 2009.

Finally my CyBook will get decent PDF support and more importantly, support for the open source ePub format. And that in 1-2 months! The Adobe announcement could also very well be the biggest news regarding ePaper in 2009. Very exciting …
