I've bought a few books at Kobo, and I enjoy their coupons, but I have to download them on my Windows box, which is already inconvenient. If there's even a hint that I'll waste money on an ebook that can't be "Alf'ed" I won't bother with them, no matter what the coupon.

Sorry, Akshayy, but you're perfecting something that I want to avoid.
You can try running K4PC and ADE in WINE, both are supposed to work pretty well. ADE might require using v1.7 (available on the internet, not sure where but google does ) You can even tell the scripts to look at them through WINE to extract the keys, I believe.
