Later, you can copy any DRM epub to your T1.

I manged already to launch ADE in the emulator wine and I'm able to import the URLLink.acsm file there, not via the Ctrl-o file selection box, but if you start ADE and give the file name as an argument. The DRM epub gets imported into the ADE workspace, one can read it there and you can find it as a file in the wine emulated disk space.
I've installed 'Sony Reader for PC' as well in wine and it connects fine to the Adobe account and one can import the same acsm file and read the epub as well there.
I could until now not mange to get the T1 visible in the Sony Reader software in wine. This perhaps has todo with the problem, that the T1 on plug-in shows at least two FAT file systems, one SETTINGS and one READER below the assigned DOS drive letters. When I tried it last Sunday with wine, I was not aware of the drive SETTINGS, perhaps this is already all magic and when I mount both file systems in UNIX and attach both to the wine emulator, the Sony Reader software will see the T1 correctly. I will try to figure this out, to have at the end a complete tool chain which works without a crappy Windows system.
Meanwhile I installed the Sony Reader software on a Win7 laptop, authorized the T1 there and at least now I am able to copy with UNIX tools only the DRM epub file from the ADE space into the reader.
When I have the last piece ready (T1 visible to Sony Read software in wine) I will write a complete how to which should help others in the same situation.
Thanks to all who gave helping comments.
