Ongoing support and development of Adobe eBook Platform Components were transferred by Adobe to [[wikipedia:Wipro|Wipro]] Engineering as of July 2025. As of 2026, the transition will also affect users more directly, since access is to be provided through [https://dtsbytebooks.com/ Bytebooks] (by Wipro). Bytebooks will ensure continued access to users' existing ebook libraries. Users can continue using Adobe Digital Edition apps and will only be asked to create a Bytebooks ID whenever a sign-in will be required (like on a new device).<ref>{{Cite web |title=Transition of Adobe eBook platform to Wipro Engineering- FAQs |date=11 May 2026 |url=https://helpx.adobe.com/enterprise/kb/eol-faq-adobe-digital-editions.html |website=helpx.adobe.com |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20260622181311/https://helpx.adobe.com/enterprise/kb/eol-faq-adobe-digital-editions.html |archive-date=22 Jun 2026}}</ref> The change is to take effect by June 23rd 2026.<ref>{{Cite web |title=ADE Sign-in Updates for Adobe ID Users |date=April 2026 |url=https://dtsbytebooks.com/pub/bytebooks-account-creation-help.pdf |url-status=live |website=dtsbytebooks.com |archive-url=http://web.archive.org/web/20260622180843/https://dtsbytebooks.com/pub/bytebooks-account-creation-help.pdf |archive-date=22 Jun 2026}}</ref> | |||
