I'll wait to see if the books can be downloaded in a couple of weeks, once the servers will be done with the new firmware.
I guess that's one more reader I won't be able to use to rent library books

I'll stop here with the off topic
I use Debian (Wheezy) and and old ADE version 1.7.2, it works with Wine as long as I plug the e-reader in and, before starting ADE, run wine-configuration to set the e-reader's drive letter in Drives-->ShowAdvanced-->Type to "Floppy disk". Sounds bizarre, but everything works including authorise/deauthorise devices and download/return library books.
