I've also found several online eBook stores (that use Adobe DRM) where you can buy books directly with your Tolino or Pocketbook. Excruciatingly slow on the built-in browsers, however. But it's better than nothing as I don't have ADE on my Linux computer.
Just another reason to look for DRM-free whenever possible. Having to jump through hoops in order to read a book you've legally purchased is stupid.
