This question must have been asked several times but I was unable to find an answer, sorry for asking again.
ETA : running ADE from Linux with wine doesn't work for me.

If the Vivlio's firmware works the same as PocketBook's then it just a matter of downloading the ascm file with the built-in browser and then clicking on that file, it will download the ePub from wherever the ascm feature downloads its ePubs.
You can also use the Send-to-PocketBook feature to send the ascm file to you device and then (again) download the book directly from the PocketBook (again, don't know if the app exists in the Vivlio or works the same).
You can also download the ascm file on your computer and then move it to your device's SendToPB folder via the USB cable. I just tested that and it also works. (Assuming the Vivlio's firmware has the same features as the PocketBook's.)
(EDIT: It doesn't have to be your SendToPB folder, it can just be your Download folder.)
I use Linux also and haven't any luck setting up ADE via Wine on it either.
EDIT 2: Taking a quick look at the Vivlio manual, it doesn't appear they have all the apps that are on a standard PocketBook (like Send-To-PocketBook or Dropbox). It also appears they may not have ADE built-in (they don't show ascm as a supported file format). Hopefully I'm wrong about this.
You may be able to install the PB firmware (not sure, but it looks like it's been done), but then (I'm guessing) you lose your direct integration to your bookstore and Vivlio support.
