If you were to someplace like WH Smith or Books On Board there would be nothing stopping you from buying a DRM'd book. You just wouldn't be able to download it until you installed and activated ADE. Books On Board give a warning during checkout about needing ADE if I recall correctly. Not sure about other retailers.

Since I have yet to be blocked from downloading any eBooks, then it appears that I may only VERY RARELY need the ADE capability for the books that interest me...and perhaps should not bother with it!?!

Probably depends on what you buy. If you plan to buy current fiction put out by big publishers like Penguin, Harper, S&S, etc. those epubs will be DRM'd and you'll want ADE.
