This is the way all current EInk readers get access to Adobe ebooks, because none has wireless. Three devices with wireless and ADE are coming (the Nook, the Sony Daily Edition and the iRex DR800SG) but none will be able to download wirelessly from a lending library - they will all be sideloading such ebooks. You download the ebooks from the library using desktop ADE (Windows or Mac, both free). If your EInk device has been registered to your AdobeID, then these same ebook files will work on the Reader and you just need to copy them over. Desktop ADE can copy them for you, or you do this yourself via the USB filesystem (which works like a USB memory stick).

This was a GREAT response...thank you so much. I now understand much better. Sounds like I shouldn't rule it out just yet...but that, as you stated, we will really need to wait until someone has it in hand and successfully loads a book which can be opened and read on the device.
Again, many thanks. This was clear and helpful.
