Some publishers, like me, refuse to sell at storefronts who either do not allow us to turn off DRM or otherwise restrict the purchaser's choice in what application to read their books (Barnes & Noble Nook!!! Aaargh! ***holes.) Some of them will even take the time to go to the store you purchased your publication from and turn off DRM in the back-end. Many of them will respond with a friendly note with a nonDRM file attached. You may, also, try emailing the publisher with an attached sales receipt and explain you cannot read their product because they have effectively locked you out by enabling DRM in the storefront. The most reliable methods all rely on having a working version of ADE installed on your system, though, so it's also kind of pointless. I will not post, in this forum, how to go about doing it but a quick search in your favorite search engine will turn up tutorials. It is usually done at the e-store and by the e-store.) there are methods of breaking the DRM. If you don't mind violating your licensing agreement with the bookstore (Only rarely is this DRM added to the book by the publisher.
This isn't very surprising since the storefronts selling DRM-enabled publications don't care enough to provide Adobe with financial incentive to support Linux.
Adobe has been promising us a native Linux version for years and has failed to produce. I've had it break with upgrade to a newer version WINE. Every time Adobe makes even the most minor change to ADE, this breaks, so never ever upgrade your version of ADE if you get it working in WINE. That said, many people have successfully installed Digital Editions on Linux in the WINE environment. To my knowledge, and I've been searching for years, you cannot lawfully read a digital rights managed epub on Linux with a native Linux application.
