One roundabout way could be to install wine and Sony Reader for PC (or ADE).

We got some brilliant people here, can you see a feasable and pragmatic way to make this happen?

(FWIW I know plenty of people choosing Pocketbook before Kobo just because of this.)
Wine would not be possible, unfortunately. As it *could* *maybe* run, certainly ADE won't, because it has been compiled for x86_64.
I'm currently testing things with QEMU (got Windows 3.1 emulated on a Kobo yesterday!) and ReactOS (open-source Windows clone) which *could* *maybe* used in a pratical way.
Still testing...
But maybe are there alternatives to ADE for Linux that I don't know of?
