You will have to start running ADE 2.0.1 instead. After a couple weeks of trying and tweaking all conceivable settings with Winetricks, I've concluded that Wine will not play well with 2.0.1, so I have actually had to install Windows 7 in a virtual box (virt-manager) to be able to run ADE 2.0.1.

You'll be able to check out books again this way, it will just cost you a minimum of 20GB of HDD space.
As I've always said, Windows works best for dealing with eBooks.
