Yep - one can successfully avoid ADE irrespective that it's an Adobe ACSM file because Sony Reader for PC accepts them without question.

And one doesn't need to have a Sony ereader in order to have Reader for PC.
Actually you're not avoiding ADE, as such... Reader for PC has ADE embedded in it. I do have a Sony Reader and also use the Reader for PC as my ADE client for 99% of my purchases/library checkouts. It's also slightly more Alf-friendly as ADE at one point was attempting to obscure the keys needed by Alf...
Reader for PC doesn't handle the browser plugin needed by a few sites that don't provide a direct ACSM download (just a button to launch ADE), but I'm seeing fewer of those lately. I also discovered that Reader for PC doesn't work with OpenLibrary... It will open the ACSM file, but refuse to download the content. Fortunately, you can load Reader for PC and ADE side by side and they share the same key... ADE 2.0 works fine with OpenLibrary.
