Testing ADE 4.0 on Win 7
Raw
gistfile1.txt
Starting point: a Win 7 box that already had ADE 1.7 installed on it as well as a
copy of Calibre with some books in its library.
1. Downloaded and installed ADE 4.0.
2. Allowed it to associate with .acsm and .epub files.
3. Fired up WireShark
4. Let it run it's post-install option to migrate the library from ADE 1.7.
5. Read some pages of an existing book in ADE 4.0. Saw POST to adelogs.adobe.com
mentioning that book.
6. Opened an EPUB file by double-clicking on it.
7. Flipped through some pages. New book was NOT logged.
8. Closed it, and chose not to import it into the ADE library.
9. Closed ADE. New book still was NOT logged.
10. Started ADE again.
11. Opened an EPUB file, and this time chose to add it to the ADE library.
12. Flipped through some pages. This time, the book got logged.
Upshot: still didn't see any sign that ADE was scanning the hard drive or other
ebook program's libraries. Also, only seems to log reading for ebook that are
added to the ADE library.

And for the record, I've now confirmed that that ADE4.0 can transmit book metadata from an ereader connected to the PC, in the clear:
