Yes. Taking Boyd's
"The Ark" as an example - it can be downloaded by a browser such as IE or Firefox to somewhere on your PC, then just viewed or imported into Calibre, with no need for ADE.
You're correct that ADE is needed for DRM'd ePubs, though. ('m not 100% sure of the details, but I think that in those cases, what you actually download from places like a library site is a file that tells ADE how to get the actual book, which it then does 'in the background' for you, which is why ADE needs to be involved. With 'normal' ePub's where there's no DRM involved, you get to download them directly, and they'll just work!
