I haven't even been able to run the inept python scripts (to remove the corruption) because they are extremely Windows-centric. Though I eventually expect to learn enough python to modify them into something more generic.

I got Adobe Digital Edition working okay with Wine under linux (the latest Debian) and I also got python and pycrypto installed in Wine, so I can run the inept scripts okay, and can now download books through ADE from the library or wherever, and then strip the DRM off them. That all works, but couldn't get Sony's Reader Library to run, it fails with a message about "USBIsConnect Error"
But since Calibre works fine in linux, I can then take the un-drm epub books and put them on my 950. It would be a heck of a lot simpler if Adobe and Sony would just get their act together and put out linux versions of their software -- then they could keep their books nicely drm'ed like they want them. Why doesn't Sony get together with Calibre, who has a much superior product?
