I did it! I went back to Borders and bought a Sony Touch. Then I bought a DRM encrusted book, but I can't download it.

I installed Analog Digital Editions (ADE) in Wine on Fedora 14.
I gave it my adobe ID, and it seemed happy.

I went to Borders.com and bought a book.
They sent me email with a link to download to book.
I downloaded it, but I ended up with a small XML file named URLLink.acsm that describe the book I bought.
I went to the ADE menu to "Add item to menu", but the dialog only allows me to select .epub and .pdf files, not .acsm files.

If I really have to, eventually I'll call or email Borders for help. But it's just disgustingly predictable that they will hide behind the canard that they don't support Linux.

Has anyone else bought a book from Borders?
What do I do?
How do I get my book?
