I first asked this question on the 'general' forum, but I think the item belongs merely on this forum...
So I got my first ereader yesterday, a BeBook One. It was one of those
'refurbished' ones, which seemed to me a good opportunity to find out if I like the 'ebook' experience, and which features I like or miss.
And yes, I already have discovered that I will 'upgrade' to something else in the past, but meanwhile I ran into another problem:
I have a linux-computer, and Adobe Digital Editions doesn't exist for that Operating system. I could get it working on Wine, and I can open the DRM protected books that I downloaded via the Windows computer of my husband and shared via DropBox, but I can't find a way to download Adobe DRM protected content directly to my Linux computer. Although I have autohorized my computer via Adobe Digital Editions, the Adobe Website doesn't seem to recognize my computer when browsing the web.
On the
Sample eBook Library page of Adobe, the 'download'-button doesn't say download but had the text 'system requirements' on it, and it only brings me to an 'error' page.
Of course, I have the work-around of buying every single DRM-protected ePub on the computer of my husband, downloading it there, and then syncing my dropbox, but that is quite laborious... (although it could help not to let grow the mountain of to be read books to quickly!)
Anyone who can tell me how to download an DRM protected ePub to a Linux computer? (Although I use Linux, I'm not made of the geeky stuff...)
