As others have mentioned, ADE is a very good EPUB & PDF program, but the one I use came out a few years ago. The current one... or the version I tried a year ago, is too minimalist. It looks quite different from the ADE version I have installed on my Windows PC. The version I have is easy on the eyes. I love its design and user-friendliness.
I'm not sure whether I could add it to my post or not; if it's against the rules... If someone could instruct me on how to upload the file (as a zip or the file itself) so that you all could download it, that'd be great.
Thanks in advance... and if no one replies to this post soon, oh well! lol

You cannot upload copyrighted material to this web site. You can point to the download location for a legitimate copy. Is it really ADE that you are talking about? If it is a different program and have permission from the author it can be uploaded here. Your message is a bit cryptic.

It is Adobe Digital Editions version 1.7.2. I logged into Adobe Communities (https://forums.adobe.com), found my thread concerning the subject, clicked on the links provided by another member and found that they're no longer usable. The version (1.7.2) has been replaced by later versions, unfortunately.
I'm not sure just how user-friendly the latest version is, but it's worth a try. *nods*
I did a Google search just now for ADE 1.7.2. It's available at one particular site, but I'm not sure if it's virus-ridden or not. It's best to not take a chance and stick to legitimate sites... 'Wish I could be more helpful.

Well, WINE (run Windows programs on linux) has a verb to install ADE 1.7.2 automatically. So I looked up the winetricks entry, and it downloads the setup from here:
