Adobe has released Adobe Digital Editions 2.0, its freeware application for managing ebooks on a PC or Mac. Digital Editions is required for transferring protected eBook files to compatible mobile eBook Readers using Adobe’s EPUB and PDF standards.
Version 2.0 includes accessibility support for the first time, plus includes the latest reader mobile technology for managing ebooks between computer and mobile readers.
I have finally found solution: 1) Delete: My Digital Editions folder localed in Documents. 2) Reinstall Digital Editions 4.5. 3) Open software and you will see that is not showing window, I've noticed that is minimized, so make click in Digital Editions button (taskbar) and press in your keyboard Alt + (Spacebar), you'll see an option to RESTORE, press letter that is underlined and Digital. If Adobe Digital Editions opens, but doesn't properly download the ebook. If ADE opens but doesn't display the ebook, or the ebook is shown but won't open, try creating a backup of the original 'restore' folder to resolve the issue. Go to My Documents My Digital Editions. Rename the restore folder to restore.old. Download a fresh. I haven’t personally checked the accessibility features, but that’s what Adobe is saying: “Version 2.0 is an update to the popular Digital Editions 1.7 application. If you’re familiar with the Digital Editions 1.8 Preview we had on Adobe labs, it will look familiar. Adobe Digital Editions is a separate web-based rich Internet application (RIA) that replaces the eBooks features in previous versions of Acrobat. When you install Adobe Digital Editions, your existing bookshelf items are automatically imported and available within the new Adobe Digital Editions bookshelf experience.
The major new feature in Adobe Digital Editions 2.0 are its new accessibility features to allow eBooks to be more easily read. These include support for high-contrast screens, plus assistive software, including Window-Eyes (Windows), VoiceOver (Mac), JAWS and NVDA.
Version 2.0 also includes the latest mobile reader technology such as Vendor ID, Bookseller ID and Japanese text, allowing users to sign in using Vendor or Bookseller IDs (such as Google or Barnes & Noble), allowing users to read content purchased from these sellers.
One feature removed from version 2.0 is support for Flash-based multimedia objects, an unsurprising move given Adobe’s decision to remove Flash support from mobile devices as it concedes defeat to HTML5 multimedia standards.
The new build is actually a stable release of Adobe Digital Editions 1.8 Preview, which was previously available for beta-testing. This release has now been discontinued.
Adobe Digital Editions 2.0 is a freeware download for PCs and Macs. A compatible EPUB-capable eBook Reader is required for transferring book purchases using the program – a complete list of compatible devices can be found here.

Adobe Digital Editions allows you to transfer items from or to a supported eReader device.
Connect the supported eReader device to your computer and launch Digital Editions. Digital Editions automatically detects the presence of your device. Both Digital Editions and the device must be authorized to be able to transfer protected content to and from the device.
Unprotected content can be transferred to and from the device without authorizing either the device or Digital Editions. However Adobe strongly advises authorizing Digital Editions as it gives you content portability for your protected books, whether on Digital Editions or the supported device. After connection, the device appears in the library section.
You can transfer items to and from the device just as you do with bookshelves in your library. You can read books that are on your device or your own computer.
Note:
