Adobe Management Changes
Adobe's CEO Bruce Chizen steps down, and the market is reacting. But Adobe also said Monday that "fourth-quarter sales would be near the top end of its guidance of $860 million to $890 million."
Oh, for the record, I don't own any stock or have any other financial interest in Adobe. As a rule, I avoid investing in companies that I cover or might do business with--partly to avoid a conflict of interest but also because I am terrible at picking tech stocks. They either go bust, or I sell them at a small loss or profit the second before they take off like a rocket.

Adobe Max 2007
Speaking of the major content technology companies, registration for Adobe Max 2007 is now open. I went to last year's fall event in Vegas (this year it is in Chicago), and my first impression is that this year's event has much more for the traditional Adobe Creative Suite community than last year's did.

Currently Reading
One of the takeaways, er, giveaways from the Adobe Analyst Meetings last week was a nice little book, Apollo for Adobe Flex Developers Pocket Guide. I read most of it on the train ride home (the narrative parts anyway, a chunk of it is reference), and it made sense, though I am not a Flex developer. Note that it is indeed specifically for Flex developers, and it is indeed a pocket guide.

But How Does Dear Author Really Feel About It?
Adobe Labs Cooks Up Worst Ebook Reader in Ebook Reader History
Dear Adobe,
I have, often, derided the Adobe Acrobat format for ebooks. I have told people on this blog, in emails, on message boards, that this is my least favorite format and that you should only buy this format when there is NO OTHER OPTION. Buying an Adobe ebook, particularly one that requires authentication to read it, is akin to shaving your head when you are one of the most recognizable people in the world and, at one time, one of the most beautiful people in the world.
You’ve come out with a great new software called Adobe Digital Editions, for those people who love ebooks...

Adobe Acrobat 8
I have my copy of Acrobat 8, but have been too busy to install it. But I was spending some time updating by eForms Resources page, and started looking at the list of new books about Acrobat 8. Not surprisingly, you could start a small library with them. So I decided to put together an Amazon aStore with Acrobat-8-related products. Shop early and often!
