Monkey dislikes Microsoft as much as he dislikes Apple. If it wasn't for books, I'd be able to cut the Windows cord completely. Unfortunately, key book programs require Windows in order to work - ADE, Audible, OverDrive, and WMA.
I've gotten ADE to run in Wine (thanks to some advice here at MobileRead) and, apparently, Audible can also be run under Wine. I don't quite understand not being able to run Overdrive in Linux -- don't you just run it in your browser? (But maybe there is an application that I don't know about.) I don't know what WMA is so can't comment on that.

I agree with you about Microsoft and Apple. Don't like either. Not crazy about Google any more either, but still consider them the lesser of the evils.
