So, either way, we're in a proprietary system for DRM books. Either Amazon or Adobe. Amazon is easier.
You choose to use Linux which is not nearly as good with eBooks as Windows. Windows is just easier to use. It's not Adobe's fault you use Linux. It's your fault. It's not Adobe's fault that Wine is a pain to get ADE 2.0.1 working. It's your fault because you chose Linux. Nobody forced you to use Linux. So don't complain about ADE just because you chose Linux.
