1) you need an Android phone

3) the file is accessible after it is download
4) you can transfer the file using a USB cable (or maybe dropbox)

good luck.
If you have an Android phone with a data plan (which you would need to download files), why wouldn't you just tether it and set it up as a wifi hotspot, so that you could directly download ADE books to a compatible wifi-enabled reader (almost every Sony device made in the last three years)?

{Edit} I see that I've provided the same answer as several others in the other thread. If *that* what was what caused the OP to say it got off-track, the answer to your question there, "Or can I install ADE on a Kobo?" Maybe not the Glo, but there are plenty of devices that offer direct ADE downloads, and iOS, Android and Blackberry all offer Overdrive Media Console, which again, facilitates direct download of ADE books to the device. So, if this is a critical function, I'd recommend a device change.

The answer to "is there a portable version of ADE, that works?" is YES, it works perfectly on my Sony T2.
