What you can't do though is use it to transfer content to a device.
It is the buying (actually downloading) of content that is important. Once the file is on your desktop it can be copied to the Gen3 by treating it as a USB drive.

The other important one-time step is authorizing the Gen3 on an Adobe account. Given the lack of USB support in Wine, I assume that will have to be done (once) from a Windows or Mac PC. Note that the Sony's can only be authorized from Windows, so Bookeen seems to be going the extra mile.

All this only matters if Adobe Secure ebooks are involved. So it seems likely that Bookeen is going to add a 2nd DRM type to the Gen3.
