Okay, I'm pretty much double posting here but I'm justifying it (rationalizing it?) by the fact that you guys down here in the Lounge are the Linux Zen Masters. (Please don't turn me in.)

This is the deal:

I used to proof the epubs I made in Sigil on the Sony Reader Library, which from what I can gather is no longer around. Before that I used ADE 2.0 but that was back in my Windows days. Yeah, I could use Calibre's Ebook Viewer or Sigil's Bookview, but there was something comforting about seeing it on another system (and the Sony Reader Library made it super easy to transfer edits to Sigil).

Are there Sony Reader Library downloads for Linux around anywhere? And would I have to go with Wine to use ADE?

I'm open to any suggestions. Thanks.
