I stopped using the 3M library software partly due to lack of selection, but also because it was a pain to transfer files (and you couldn't download them indirectly as I recall). You could do it but the software was temperamental about whether it saw the USB devices. I kept having to go into winecfg.
Sorry. I overlooked replying to this. The answer is yes, at least for your H2O. There is apparently a list of supported ereaders somewhere but I'd imagine any ereader supporting ADE should work at least in theory. There are instructions at WineHQ in the appsdb entry for ADE 2.0. Basically it involves using the Drives tab on Winecfg to make a persistent drive entry for the mountpoint of your Kobo ereader. You need of course to remember to make sure you set this in the proper wineprefix. It works perfectly. Your H2O (in my case) appears in the left pane and it is as simple as dragging and dropping the books to it. The first time you do this it will authorise your device.

This is good for reading ADE library books on your device. For purchases of course I would recommend Apprentice Alf if you can legally remove the DRM.
