It is possible to have your regular web browser pass the the info "directly" to ADE under linux. Once you have ADE installed and working, you'll need to set it so the default app to open that is more or less wine, but add commandline options to have wine start ADE. There are a few ways to do this:
-You can set it in your Desktop environment. For instance, in KDE, if I've already downloaded a license file, I would right click on it and goto properties. Once in properties. I click the wrench button next to Type, and it opens a new window for edit File Type. Here, I click Add under Application Preference Order, and type in
Quote:

env WINEPREFIX="/home/username/.wine" wine "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Digital Editions\digitaleditions.exe"
|
. Now, any time the license file is opened, it should automatically open in ADE.
-You can also do the same, but specify it in your web browser. For instance, when you download in firefox, if it should ask you if you want to open it or save. If it does not, goto Edit>Preferences, and under the General tab, check the radio button for "Ask me where to save files". It most likely will not have any options, just a "Browse" button. Click on Browse, and a file dialog window will open. Click the textbox marked Location, and paste in the info from before. This should work and let you open in ADE.
Now, some things here and there may vary, depending on your particular install, but the same principals should apply.
