They are controlled by AdobeID, which is your account on Adobe's servers. There can be 6 devices per account, but one typically has to be a Windows PC or a Mac to download the ebooks. They are also used to register your EInk device with Adobe's servers (connect via USB and select Authorize in Desktop Adobe Digital Editions). Registration is a one time operation. There is no Linux ADE, so Windows or a Mac is required for registration, but there may be a work around for actually downloading ebooks if you only have Linux (Cybook Opus?).
