Adobe Digital Editions is an engaging new way to read and manage eBooks and other digital publications. Digital Editions is built from the ground up as a lightweight, Rich Internet Application (RIA). Digital Editions works online and offline, and supports PDF and XHTMLâ??based content as well as Flash SWF for rich interactivity.

Then this is adware, not freeware. Simple as that :)
Therefore, as all adware deceitfully miscategorized as freeware, this gets a big fat "1"

"To offset Adobe's costs in developing and operating Digital Editions and its associated content protection infrastructure, Adobe plans to provide dynamic context-based ads within the user interface of the Digital Editions application in certain situations."
It seems the definition of a "Rich Internet Application" is an application which stays connected to the internet in order to deliver spam directly to your screen. Is this Adobe's attempt to bypass the browser and cut it's own slice of the internet advertising spend?
