I have tried to install Adobe Digital Editions through wine, but was unsuccessful due to a compatibility issue with Microsoft's .NET framework.

However, I was able to install the Kobo Desktop software through wine, but it does not seem to recognise the Kobo device when it is plugged in through USB; nevertheless I don't think it is the right software to do so anyway.

I guess Calibre is not going to do that neither, even if my device has been authorised by Adobe Digital Editions (installed on another computer).

Can you think of a solution? Are there other ways? (Or have you successfully installed ADE in linux?)
