Another Linux user here. The situation with DRM-free content (either bought as such or in public domain) is good for most of the devices, as you pointed out, they appear as USB mounts.
The problem for Linux users are applications that are capable of downloading, registering and transferring DRM protected material to the device, be it borrowed from the public library (ADE), be it stuff from stores that DRM protect their wares.
There is evidence on the Net that it is possible to install ADE under Wine, but there are also a quite a few posts dealing with the inability to register ADE, device or both if it is installed under wine.
I am affraid that the simplest thing is to run Windows under VmWare or OpenBox for loans/purchases
