Hi all,

Has anyone successfully deployed Adobe Digital Editions to their loanable chromebooks? I've seen some evidence of it working in various blogs but our IT department who manages the approved apps list isn't confident it will work. And since we need to be confident it will work before it's approved to install, and we can't install until we're confident, but we can't test it without installing... is anyone currently circulating chromebooks that have Digital Editions installed? 

Context: our chromebooks circulate like hotcakes and we'd like to get more and offer them for longer loan periods - a week, maybe a month, etc. But since we're also transitioning to an ebook-heavy collection we wanted to ensure that students would have offline access to anything they had downloaded, and nearly all of our DRM'd ebooks require Adobe Digital Editions. There's an Android app that could serve this purpose but I can't install it to test. 

Thanks,
