Can anyone tell me what are the difference between the ordinary editions and the adult editions. I think there is no difference in texts, then what are the differences. Can any of you help me?

Well i guess it could either mean adult editions have included content that wasn't put in the children's editions because it was "unsuitable, eg. explicit".
But if you're talking stuff like Harry Potter, then it's purely about the cover, you're right, there is no difference in the text. I think they did it because the children's books have covers which do look pretty childish, and the publishers wanted to expand their market and make them look "grown up" so adults wouldnt be embarassed holding a kid's book. haha.
I'm sure there must be adult editions of other books as well, for similar reasons.

I'm going to guess you're talking Harry Potter but you didn't say. Well we don't have adult editions here in the states but everyone reads them and is mocked for reading children's books by those who haven't read them and don't understand their greatness.
I think that will probably answer your question.

Just the cover of the books as far as I can tell - ie appeals more to an adult

Adult usually means that a story or movie has a adult content and shouldnt be readed or seing by children. Johan

Which texts? Give examples. Adult edition may mean being lewd and explicit!
