My experience says you are correct. I buy books using three email accounts, and always put them through ADE, haven't had a problem yet.
Exactly. ADE has to be registered with an email address, but that email address only has to match other machines/devices in order to open the DRM'd file. The library/vendor sends you an ACSM file which tells ADE how to download the file, and the terms of the license. ADE then authorizes the license with a content server (which encrypts the file using the key registered to the authorized email) and downloads the encrypted file. The whole process is agnostic of the vendor you purchased/checked out the content from and any email addresses they may have on file. Actually Overdrive doesn't even store your email address other than if you place a book on hold (which is strictly used to notify you).
